A referendum on reforming the voting system was held in the Falkland Islands on 3 November 2011.[1] Voters were asked "Do you want a single constituency for the whole of the Islands?"[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.[2] Turnout was 70% in Camp and just 39% in Stanley.[2]

Background

Under section 27 of the Falkland Islands Constitution, any change to the constituencies on the islands must be supported in a referendum by at least two-thirds of the vote.[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%).[1] In 2011 there were 262 voters (17%) in Camp and 1,315 (83%) in Stanley, meaning the current arrangements provided for one MLA for every 87 voters in Camp and one for every 263 in Stanley.[4]

Originally the two constituencies had had equal representation, but had been changed as the population of Stanley increased.[2] The proposal had already been put to voters in a referendum in 2001, and had been rejected.[1] A second referendum was approved by the Assembly on 26 August 2011 by a vote of four to three.[1]

Results

The question posed by the referendum was:

Do you want a single constituency for the whole of the Islands?[4]
