Guamanian ballot measure From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A referendum on union with the Northern Mariana Islands was held in Guam on 4 November 1969.[1] The proposal was rejected by 58% of voters due to fears about an increase in taxation.[1] Despite the result, a similar referendum was held in the Northern Mariana Islands on 9 November in which 61% of voters supported union with Guam.[2]
