A referendum on becoming part of South Africa was held in South West Africa in May and June 1946. The referendum took the format of asking tribes whether they wished to remain under South African rule. The number of people in the tribe was assigned to all having voted "yes" or "no" based on the return of a form to the government. However, the United Nations rejected allowing the mandate to join the Union of South Africa, stating that "the African inhabitants of South West Africa have not yet secured political autonomy or reached a stage of political development enabling them to express a considered opinion which the Assembly could recognize on such an important decision as incorporation of their territory."

- Das Referendum in Südwestafrika 1946 war ein Referendum in Südwestafrika, das im Mai und Juni 1946 durchgeführt wurde. Es sollte die zukünftige Zugehörigkeit zur Südafrikanischen Union klären und wurde in Form von Befragungen der einzelnen Volksgruppen durchgeführt. Die Vereinten Nationen wiesen die Möglichkeit der Zugehörigkeit zum heutigen Südafrika zurück, da die Menschen in Südwestafrika bis dahin nicht ausreichend politisch gebildet wurden und deshalb eine solche Entscheidung nicht rational treffen konnten.
