Known as the "Popular Survey about the independence of the Republic of Latvia", voters were asked "are you in favour of a democratic and independent Republic of Latvia".[2] It was approved by 74.9% of voters, with a turnout of 87.6%.[2] Latvian Republic civilians registered in Soviet Army units also had the right to vote in this poll.[3]
