A constitutional referendum was held in American Samoa on November 6, 1973.[1] Voters were asked to whether they approved of a new constitution,[2] The new constitution provided for the direct election of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor, a doubling of the salaries for members of the Fono,[3] issuing government bonds to raise money, and decentralizing some powers to counties and villages.[2]

As with the previous referendum in 1972, the proposals were rejected, with 34% in favor and 66% against.

Results

The new constitution was expected to be approved, but was rejected by nearly two-thirds of voters.[4]
