A referendum on the territory's status was held in
Guam on 4 September 1982.[1] It was held after a
referendum in January had resulted in none of the options presented to voters receiving a majority in favour.[2] This time only two options, becoming a
US commonwealth or a
US state, were offered to voters, with 73% voting in favour of the former.[1] However, the territory has still not achieved commonwealth status.
