The No Campaign being organised under the banner of a co-ordinating group is continuing to gather pace. This group is calling on volunteers who support the campaign to come forward and help to distribute leaflets and assist with the other activities being planned. - Press release

For their part, the Government of Gibraltar promoting the Yes vote had issued a leaflet in which the Chief Minister states:

I wholeheartedly commend to you this new Constitution which is the culmination of many years of political effort by the Gibraltar Government, other elected members of the House representing the Opposition, and others. This new Constitution modernises the quality of democracy in Gibraltar (and the democratic rights of the people of Gibraltar), bringing them much closer to normal European standards, by upgrading and modernising the status, role and functions of the democratic institutions of the people of Gibraltar.[3]
