A referendum on direct election of governors and vice governors was held in American Samoa on 7 November 1972 alongside legislative elections.[1] Voters were asked to approve a proposal which permitted direct popular election of governors and lieutenant governors. The turnout of 28.20% was very low, and the measure was rejected, with 17.30% voting yes and 82.70 voting no.[2]
