Nevis independence referendum, 1977

An unofficial independence referendum was held in Nevis on 18 August 1977. It was organised by the Nevis Reformation Party, and resulted in 99.66% voting in favour. However, the result was declared invalid by the national government.

The constitution proclaimed at the independence of Saint Kitts and Nevis in 1983 contained Article 113, giving Nevis the right to unilaterally secede if a referendum resulted in a two-thirds majority. A 1998 referendum resulted in 62% voting in favour.
