Colombians on Sunday vote on whether to accept or reject the peace agreement signed last month between the government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
Opinion polls carried out in preceding days indicate that the peace deal will be accepted by the people.
The deal was struck after 50 years of armed conflict and signed by the FARC leader, Rodrigo Londono (alias Timochenko) last Monday.
It guarantees FARC 10 seats in the congress without election until 2026 as well as allowing FARC members to run for the 2018 presidential and legislative elections.
