1994 Crimean referendum

Ukrainian referendums A three-part referendum was held in Crimea on 27 March 1994 alongside regional and national elections. Voters were asked whether they were in favour of greater autonomy within Ukraine, whether residents should have dual Russian and Ukrainian citizenship, and whether presidential decrees should have the status of laws.

However, the Ukrainian Parliament ruled that the declaration was illegal, and gave the Supreme Council a deadline of 20 May to rescind it. Although the Supreme Council complied with the order on 22 May, the referendum was only postponed rather than cancelled. The referendum idea was resurrected in 1994 after Yuriy Meshkov was elected President of Crimea in January. Although the Central Election Commission of Ukraine and Ukrainian President Leonid Kravchuk declared it illegal, it still went ahead on 27 March.https://www.refworld.org/docid/3ae6a8550.html Refworld | Chronology of Events: March 1994 - August 1995 Results Greater autonomy Are you for the restoration of the provision of the Constitution of the Republic of Crimea of 6 May 1992 which determines the regulation of mutual relations between the Republic of Crimea and Ukraine on the basis of a Treaty of Agreements?Mark Clarence Walker (2003) The Strategic Use of Referendums: Power, Legitimacy, and Democracy, Palgrave Macmillan, p108 ChoiceVotes%For 78.4Against 21.6Invalid/blank votes –Total 100Registered voters/turnout Source: Minorities at Risk Project Dual citizenship Are you for the restoration of the provision of the Constitution of the Republic of Crimea of 6 May 1992 that proclaimed the right of citizens of the Republic of Crimea to dual citizenship?
