politics and government of
American Samoa

A referendum on direct election of governors and vice governors was held in American Samoa on 18 June 1974. Voters were asked to approve a proposal which permitted direct popular election of governors and lieutenant governors. Turnout was even lower than the previous similar referendum, at 17.20%. The measure was narrowly rejected, with 48.20% voting yes and 51.80 voting no.[1] An identical measure would be put before voters again two years later and was passed.
