1991 Macedonian independence referendum
8 September 1991 (1991-09-08)
Are you for a sovereign and independent state of Macedonia, with a right to enter into any alliance with sovereign states of Yugoslavia?
Macedonian: Дали сте за суверена и независна држава Македонија, со право на влез во иден сојуз на суверени држави на Југославија?
An independence referendum was held in the Republic of Macedonia on 8 September 1991, which afterwards proclaimed independence from Yugoslavia.[1] It was approved by 96.4% of votes, with a turnout of 75.7%. North Macedonia celebrates 8 September as Independence Day. According to some reports, 8 September was chosen as the date for the referendum to link it with the 8 September 1944 proclamation of the Independent State of Macedonia.[2]
