The text of the Greek question

July 5, 2015

Greeks are voting in a referendum on the creditors' last bailout proposal. Much has been made of the convoluted wording of the question on a proposal that is no longer on the table. Here is an English translation.

"Should the proposal that was submitted by the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund at the Eurogroup of 25 June, 2015, and is comprised of two parts, which make up their joint proposal, be accepted? The first document is titled 'Reforms for the Completion of the Current Program and Beyond' and the second 'Preliminary Debt Sustainability Analysis."

Voters are given the choice between "yes" and "no," in which "no" is the first option.
