A referendum on the reduction of the Senate was held in the United States Virgin Islands on 7 November 2000.[1] Voters were first asked if they wanted to reduce the size of the Senate from its current membership of 15. They were then asked the reduced size of Senate that they preferred – either nine or eleven seats.[2] While a reduction was overwhelmingly approved and voters chose a reduction to nine seats, the referendum was non-binding and was not implemented.[3] ResultsFavor Reduction of Senate
