A referendum was held in Norfolk Island on 1 December 1982 to decide whether the electoral system for the Norfolk Island Legislative Assembly should be changed from proportional representation to a new cumulative voting system.[1]
Voters were asked "Are you in favor of a change from proportional representation type of system of voting to a new cumulative system of voting?", with a threshold of 60% votes in favor required for passage. The referendum passed narrowly, with just over 63% of voters in favor of the change.[2]
