Latvian church property referendum, 1923 : ウィキペディア英語版
Latvian church property referendum, 1923

A referendum on the transfer of church property was held in Latvia on 1 and 2 September 1923,〔Nohlen, D & Stöver, P (2010) ''Elections in Europe: A data handbook'', p1122 ISBN 978-3-8329-5609-7〕 the first time a referendum had been held in the country.〔Hiden, J (2004) ''Defender of minorities: Paul Schiemann, 1876-1944'', p92〕 Voters were asked whether the government should be stopped from transferring the Lutheran St James's Church in Riga to the Roman Catholic Church. Although a large majority voted for the proposal, voter turnout was well below the level required, and the church building was subsequently given to the Catholic Church.〔Nohlen & Stöver, p1135〕
==Background==

The government led by Prime Minister Zigfrīds Anna Meierovics had started legislating for the transfer of St James's Church to the Roman Catholic Church as well as forcing the Lutheran Church to share Riga Cathedral with the Catholics.〔 The moves were vigorously opposed by Paul Schiemann, a prominent defender of minority rights, who claimed the bill would "abandon the principles of a state of culture and law" during a parliamentary debate.〔
Schiemann attracted international sympathy for the Lutheran Church's fight, and managed to force the country's first ever referendum. However, supporters of the transfer called for a boycott of the referendum.〔
