A referendum on remaining an overseas Territory was held in Mayotte on 11 April 1976,[1] after the proposal of remaining part of the Comoros was overwhelmingly rejected in a referendum in February.
Around 80% of the 17,384 votes cast were blank or invalid, largely by those who wished Mayotte to become a French department, a choice not offered in the referendum. Of the valid votes, 97% rejected the proposal.[1]
