Ballot measure in the US Virgin Islands From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A referendum on legalizing casino gambling was held in the United States Virgin Islands in November 1994, alongside general elections. It was a repeat of the 1992 referendum, which saw the proposal rejected by a narrow margin. This time the proposal was rejected in St Thomas and St John but approved in St Croix.
