1991 Puerto Rican constitutional referendum

A constitutional referendum was held in Puerto Rico on 8 December 1991. The amendments would guarantee:

• The inalienable right to freely and democratically determine Puerto Rico's political status.
• The right to choose a dignified, non-colonial, non-territorial status not subordinate to plenary powers of Congress.
• The right to vote for three alternatives.
• The right that only results with a majority will be considered triumphant in a plebiscite.
• The right that any status would protect Puerto Rico's culture, language and identity, and continued independent participation in international sports events.
• The right that any status guarantees the individual's right to American citizenship. The changes were rejected by 54.1% of voters, with a turnout of 60.7%.
