Micronesian parliamentary election, 2011

Parliamentary elections were held in the Federated States of Micronesia on 8 March 2011,〔(National Elections underway for members of 17th Congress ) Congress of the Federated States of Micronesia〕 alongside a three-part referendum. As there were no political parties, all 34 candidates ran as independents.〔(Micronesia (Federated States of): Congress ) IPU〕 For the first time in the country's history, two women ran for election, both in Chuuk State.〔 However, neither was elected.〔
The three referendum questions were held on extending the congressional term length to four years for all members (at the time, 10 of the 14 members were only elected for two-year terms),〔(Federated States of Micronesia, 8 March 2011: Four-year term of office for all members of Congress ) Direct Democracy 〕 allowing the holding of dual citizenship,〔(Federated States of Micronesia, 8 March 2011: Lifting the ban on dual citizenship ) Direct Democracy 〕 and whether a Constitutional Convention should be elected to revise the constitution.〔(Federated States of Micronesia, 8 March 2011: Election of a Constitutional Convention ) Direct Democracy 〕 Only the latter proposal was approved.〔〔〔
==Electoral system==
The 14 seats in Congress consist of 10 seats elected every two years, and four "at large" seats elected every four years.〔 The 2011 election was one in which all 14 seats were up for election.〔 Around 92,000 voters registered for the elections.〔
Two of the referendum questions, on congressional term lengths and dual citizenship, involved amending the constitution. In order to pass, they required the approval of at least 75% of voters in at least three of the four states.〔〔 The third referendum on calling a Constitutional Convention is required every ten years by article 2 of Chapter XIV of the constitution, and required only a simple majority at the national level.〔
