A double referendum was held in Uruguay on 27 November 1994 alongside general elections.

Initiatives

The pension cuts referendum was initiated by the Association of Retirees through collecting signatures equal to one-tenth of the number of registered voters.^[1]

Education budget

The referendum on reserving 27% of the state budget for education was initiated by the Teachers Union by collecting the required number signatures. It would involve amending articles 214, 215 and 220 of the constitution.^[2]
