2000 Sint Maarten status referendum

A status referendum was held on the island of Sint Maarten on 22 June 2000.

This referendum came out in favour of a separate status for Sint Maarten as a country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and sparked a new series of referendums across the Netherlands Antilles.
