A referendum on increasing the budget of the Legislature was held in the Northern Mariana Islands on 4 November 1995.[1] The proposal was rejected by voters.[1]
Background
The proposal had been approved by a three-quarter majority in both houses of the Legislature, and required only a simple majority of votes in the referendum to be approved.[1] It would have amended Chapter II, article 16 of the constitution, raising the Legislature's budget from $6 million to $8 million.[1]
