A referendum on self-determination for Algeria was held in France on 8 January 1961.[1] Self-determination was approved by 75.0% of voters overall and 69.5% in Algeria. The government reported voter turnout of 92.2%.[2] Other sources claim that four out of ten of the individuals in France and Algeria entitled to vote abstained.[3]
The referendum was worded as follows: "Do you approve the bill submitted to the French people by the President of the Republic and concerning the self-determination of the populations of Algeria and the organization of the public authorities in Algeria prior to self-determination".
