2007 Northern Mariana Islands general election


General elections were held in the Northern Mariana Islands on 3 November 2007, alongside a double referendum. The Republican Party won a majority of seats in the House of Representatives, whilst both referendums were approved.

Background

The two referendums were on proposed amendments to the constitution. One would amend Chapter XV, article 2, section a to establish a new Higher Education Commission to license post-secondary educational institutions. The other would amend the Chapter III, article 4 to require a second round in the elections for governor and lieutenant governor if no candidate received over 50% in the first round.
