On April 1, 1978, Iran held a national referendum, the result of which was almost 98 approval of the nation becoming an “Islamic Republic.” Since the death of Khomeini, only one referendum has been held, and that referendum sought to amend the constitution of Iran in favor of further empowering the Supreme Leader. Both presidents Khatami and Rouhani have sought to hold referendums to reform the Iranian constitution, however, supporters of the Supreme Leader have vehemently opposed their suggestions to hold such a referendum.
