1919 Ålandic status referendum

Unoffical referendum on Åland joining Sweden

Field	Value
date	June 1919
title	Integration into Sweden?
yes	9735
no	461
outcome	Not recognised by the League of Nations; Åland remained under Finnish sovereignty

An unofficial referendum on integration into Sweden was held in Åland in June 1919. The vote took the form of a petition, in which participants signed in either a yes or a no column. It was organised by the Lagting and approved by a vote on 1 June.

The proposal was supported by a large majority of participants but had no legal effect. In 1921, the League of Nations ruled that Finland would retain sovereignty over Åland, and the islands remained under Finnish control.
