1995 Micronesian congressional term referendum

A referendum on congressional terms was held in the Federated States of Micronesia on 7 March 1995.^[1] The proposal to set a four-year term for all members of the Congress required the approval of three-quarters of the voters in at least three of the four states.^[1] However, it was only approved by a majority of voters (but not the 75% required) in Kosrae and Yap.^[1]
