A second referendum on membership of the European Economic Area was held in Liechtenstein on 9 April 1995. ^[1] Although a previous referendum in 1992 had seen the majority of votes (55.8% with a voter turnout of 87%) in favour, the country had not joined the EEA on its formation in 1994. The result of the second referendum, which also included a treaty with neighbouring Switzerland, ^[1] was 56% in favour of membership, with voter turnout at 82%. ^{[2] [3]} Liechtenstein subsequently joined the EEA in May.
