A plebiscite on conscription was held in Canada on 27 April 1942. It was held in response to the Conservative Party lobbying Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King (Liberal leader) to introduce compulsory overseas military service, the government having previously promised not to introduce same in 1940. The result was 66% voting in favour, with Quebec being the only province to have a majority voting against. Quebec's strong majority against the commitment's release prompted the prime minister not to pursue the issue until later events prompted a change in position.

- Le plébiscite canadien sur la conscription de 1942 fut un référendum mené par le gouvernement canadien le 27 avril 1942. La population se montra en faveur en votant à 66% pour la conscription, à l'exception de la province du Québec qui vota massivement contre à 72%. En raison de ce déséquilibre, le premier ministre Mackenzie King décida de ne pas faire immédiatement entrer en vigueur les mesures. Finalement adoptée, la Loi sur la mobilisation des ressources nationales génèrera un vaste mouvement de contestation qui prendra le nom de Crise de la conscription. (fr)

Si tenne in risposta alle pressioni del partito liberale guidato da William Lyon Mackenzie King che voleva introdurre il servizio militare obbligatorio all'estero, seppure il governo avesse precedentemente promesso di non introdurlo nel 1940.

Il risultato è stato un voto favorevole del 66%, con il Québec quale unica provincia ad avere una maggioranza di voti contrari. La forte maggioranza del Québec contro il rilascio dell'impegno ha spinto William Lyon Mackenzie King a non approfondire la questione fino a quando gli eventi bellici successivi non portarono a un cambiamento di posizione.
