2003 Guadeloupean autonomy referendum

A referendum on autonomy was held in Guadeloupe on 7 December 2003.[1] Voters were asked whether they wanted the island to become a territorial collectivity,[2] which would have given the regional government more autonomy.[3] The proposal was rejected by 73% of voters.[1]

In simultaneous referendums, Saint Martin and Saint Barthélemy both voted to become overseas collectivities, gaining autonomy from Guadeloupe.[2]
