RABT, Morocco (CNN) -- Moroccans voted overwhelmingly Friday for constitutional reforms proposed by King Hassan II to give the country a powerful new upper house of parliament, a move that is expected to bolster regional representation.
The changes, passed by more than 99 percent of the 12 million voters, will revise the 1992 constitution and lead to the dissolution of the existing 333-seat parliament. It will be replaced by an upper house and a lower house.
The upper house will have power to force a no-confidence vote in the government.
