July 20, 2025

Cuba scrapped the maximum age limit of 60 for its presidential candidates as part of a constitutional reform approved Friday by parliament.

The communist-ruled island's restriction of two five-year presidential terms and minimum age of 35 for candidates were left unchanged.

The measure, approved by the Council of State, imposes no age limits on people "in the full exercise of their physical and mental faculties, with... loyalty and revolutionary trajectory," national assembly president Esteban Lazo said.
