2011 Falkland Islands electoral system referendum

A referendum on reforming the voting system was held in the Falkland Islands on 3 November 2011.

"[1] The proposal required a two-thirds majority in both of the islands' constituencies,[2] but was rejected by 58.78% of voters overall; in Stanley it was narrowly approved by 50.2% of voters but in Camp it was widely rejected, with 84% voting against.

[3] The proposal to create a single constituency for the islands was a response to Camp being heavily over-represented in the Legislative Assembly, electing three of the eight seats (38% of the total), whilst the remaining five seats were elected from Stanley (62.5%).

[4] Originally the two constituencies had had equal representation, but had been changed as the population of Stanley increased.

[1] The question posed by the referendum was: Do you want a single constituency for the whole of the Islands?
