A referendum on electoral reform was held in Botswana on 27 October 1987, the first time a referendum had been held in the country. The proposal involved the creation of the post of Supervisor of Elections, which would be appointed by the government. The referendum was passed with 78.1% of voters in favour. Following the referendum, the next general elections, held in 1989, were boycotted by the Botswana National Front because the reforms did not provide for an independent electoral commission. The changes were reversed following another referendum in 1997.

Een meerderheid van 78% stemde voor het regeringsvoorstel. Cijfers over stemgerechtigden of opkomst ontbreken. Oppositiepartij Botswana National Front (BNF) was scherp gekant tegen de instelling van een door de regering benoemde verkiezingstoezichthouder en was juist voorstander van een onafhankelijke figuur of commissie.
