A referendum on changing the electoral system was held in the Cayman Islands on 18 July 2012.[1] Voters were asked whether they wish to change the electoral system from one using multi-member constituencies to one with single member constituencies.[1] Although the proposal was approved by a majority of those voting, the quorum of half of registered voters voting in favour was not met.[2]
