A referendum on remaining in the Comoros was held in Mayotte on 8 February 1976.[1] The proposal was rejected by 99.42% of voters.[1]

Background[]

The French National Assembly passed a law on 31 December 1975 allowing for the independence of the Comoros without Mayotte. A referendum was subsequently organised in Mayotte for February 1976 to determine whether residents of the territory wished to remain part of the Comoros or stay under French control.[1]
