Caymanian electoral system referendum, 2012
A referendum on changing the electoral system was held in the Cayman Islands on 18 July 2012.〔(Cayman Islands, 18 July 2012: Elections in one constituency ) Direct Democracy 〕 Voters were asked whether they wish to change the electoral system from one using multi-member constituencies to one with single member constituencies.〔 Although the proposal was approved by a majority of those voting, the quorum of half of registered voters voting in favour was not met.〔(Majority want single member constituencies, but magic number not met ) Cayman 27, 18 July 2012〕
==Background==
The ruling United Democratic Party (UDP) had promised to hold a referendum on the change to the system alongside the general elections in 2013.〔 However, a citizens' initiative group sought an earlier vote so that the new system would be in place for the 2013 elections.〔 The group began collecting the 3,800 signatures required (25% of registered voters) to force a referendum, but as they were close to passing 3,000 signatures, on 11 April 2012 the UDP chose to hold the referendum on an earlier date.〔 On 10 May the Legislative Assembly confirmed the format of the referendum.〔
Under article 69 of the constitution, a referendum was only binding if a majority of the 15,161 registered voters vote in favour.〔 Voting was held between 07:00 and 18:00,〔(Notification of Referendum 2012 ) Elections Office〕 and referendum day was made a public holiday by the government.〔(Chamber against referendum holiday ) Cayman 27, 21 June 2012〕
