dbo:abstract
  • Parliamentary elections were held in the Federated States of Micronesia on 8 March 2011, alongside a three-part referendum. As there were no political parties, all 34 candidates ran as independents. For the first time in the country's history, two women ran for election, both in Chuuk State. However, neither was elected. The three referendum questions were held on extending the congressional term length to four years for all members (at the time, 10 of the 14 members were only elected for two-year terms), allowing the holding of dual citizenship, and whether a Constitutional Convention should be elected to revise the constitution. Only the latter proposal was approved. However, the convention didn't get elected. (en)
  • Des élections législatives fédérales se sont tenues aux États fédérés de Micronésie le 8 mars 2011. Elles furent suivies d'une élection présidentielle indirecte le 11 mai. En outre, un double référendum fut tenu en parallèle aux élections législatives. Il fut demandé aux citoyens s'ils approuvaient deux réformes constitutionnelles adoptées par le Congrès en 2008 : l'une pour harmoniser à une durée de quatre ans le mandat de tous les députés, et l'autre pour autoriser la double nationalité.
