Voting during the referendum in Strasbourg (Bas-Rhin).

The Alsace single territorial collectivity referendum (French: référendum sur la Collectivité territoriale d'Alsace) was a referendum held on Sunday, 7 April 2013 in Alsace, France,[1] which aimed at the creation of the single territorial collectivity of Alsace through the merging of the regional council of Alsace and the departmental councils of Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin. Even though there was a 57.65% majority of "Yes" votes, the project was not approved, as two other requirements (a majority in favour in both departments and a voter quorum) were not met.
