The flag of the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic was adopted by decree on 25 December 1951. The National Flag Of Belarus was slightly modified in 1956 when construction details were added for the red star, and golden hammer and sickle. Before 1951, several different flags had been in use since the Revolution. The earliest flag was plain red and was used in 1919 during the existence of the Lithuanian-Byelorussian SSR.

The design of the Belarus National Flag used between 19 September 1991 and 5 June 1995 had originally been devised by the Belarusian Democratic Republic (March to December 1918). The referendum that was held to adopt the state symbols took place on 14 May 1995. With a voter turnout of 64.7%, the new flag was approved by a majority in the ratio of three to one (75.1% to 24.9%).
