2003 Guadeloupean autonomy referendum

Last updated

A referendum on autonomy was held in Guadeloupe on 7 December 2003. [1] Voters were asked whether they wanted the island to become a territorial collectivity, [2] which would have given the regional government more autonomy. [3] The proposal was rejected by 73% of voters. [1]

In simultaneous referendums, Saint Martin and Saint Barthélemy both voted to become overseas collectivities, gaining autonomy from Guadeloupe. [2]
