A referendum on direct election of governors and vice governors was held in American Samoa on 18 June 1974.[1] Voters were asked to approve a proposal which permitted direct popular election of governors and lieutenant governors.[2] The measure was narrowly rejected, with 47% voting yes and 53% voting no. An identical measure would be put before voters again two years later and was passed.
Results
Voters were asked the question "Shall the people of American Samoa elect a governor and lieutenant-governor by popular vote?"[1]
