2003 Guadeloupean autonomy referendum
A referendum on autonomy was held in Guadeloupe on 7 December 2003. Voters were asked whether they wanted the island to become a territorial collectivity, which would have given the regional government more autonomy. The proposal was rejected by 73% of voters.
In simultaneous referendums, Saint Martin and Saint Barthélemy both voted to become overseas collectivities, gaining autonomy from Guadeloupe.Results
