The « Update Constitutional Committee 2026 » governance action was ratified on-chain on Cardano, seating four new members to the Constitutional Committee. The vote passed with razor-thin margins: DReps approved at 69.36% (required 67%) and SPOs at 51.18% (required 51%). This renewal ensures the committee maintains sufficient size to execute treasury withdrawals, adjust protocol parameters, and approve foundational changes. Had it failed, the committee would have shrunk to just three members, creating a governance bottleneck at the worst possible time ahead of major protocol milestones including the Leios upgrade and Dijkstra era. The new members, including Marek Mahut, Eastern Cardano Council, and Cardano Curia, will serve terms extending to Epoch 799.
