Nearly 87 percent of Cuban voters approved a new constitution that preserves the island's single-party socialist system
Cuba's President Miguel Diaz-Canel and his wife Lis Cuesta arrive at a polling station to cast their votes for a constitutional referendum in Havana, Cuba.
Cuba's National Electoral Commission said 7,848,343 people voted Sunday on the new charter, which was widely promoted as a vehicle for continuity in one of the world's last communist nations, whose founding generation of olive-clad revolutionaries is ceding the spotlight to a new class of middle-aged bureaucrats.
In recent weeks, Diaz-Canel's government waged a non-stop campaign promoting a "yes" vote and tarring those voting "no" as counterrevolutionaries and enemies of the state. Aside from a few independent websites, all Cuban media is state-run and the airwaves were filled with messages urging people to vote "yes" for the sake of continuity on the island.
