Moroccans have approved constitutional reforms put forward by King Mohammed VI in response to recent pro-democracy protests, preliminary results show.
With almost all the ballots counted, 98.5% of people had voted in favour, Interior Minister Taib Cherkaoui said.
The reforms grant executive powers to a prime minister, but the king is retained as head of the military, religious authorities and judiciary.
The concessions come after protests inspired by the so-called Arab Spring.
Popular uprisings have toppled Presidents Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali of Tunisia and Hosni Mubarak of Egypt.
