A referendum on reforming the electoral system was held in the Falkland Islands on 24 September 2020,[1] after being postponed from 26 March 2020 following the Coronavirus pandemic.
The first referendum was held on 22 November 2001, to coincide with that year's general election, and asked "Do you agree that there should be a single constituency for the Falkland Islands, with a new voting system for proportional representation?".
[7] Another referendum was held ten years later on 3 November 2011, but this time only asked voters if they wanted a single constituency and did not include provisions for changing the voting system.
[8] In August 2018 the Falkland Islands Government announced that another referendum on creating a single constituency would be held on 7 November 2019.
[9] The proposed question to appear on ballot papers for the referendum was set out at a meeting of the Executive Council on 26 June 2019 under Standing Order 23(2) and published on 8 July 2019.
