September 1982 Guamanian status referendum

A referendum on the territory's status was held in Guam on 4 September 1982.[1] It was held after a referendum in January had resulted in none of the options presented to voters receiving a majority in favour.[2] This time only two options, becoming a US commonwealth or a US state, were offered to voters, with 73% voting in favour of the former.[1] However, the territory has still not achieved commonwealth status.
