2021 Saint Helena governance system referendum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A two-part consultative referendum on changing the system of governance was held in Saint Helena on 17 March 2021. In the first question, voters were asked whether there should be a change. In the second, they were asked for their preference on the form of governance, choosing between a committee system and a ministerial system.
After 79% of voters voted in favour of a change, the ministerial option was chosen by 56% of voters, although voter turnout was just 17%.[1]
