An independence referendum was held in the Comoros on 22 December 1974. The overall result was a strong "yes" vote, with 94.57% of voters voting for independence and almost all the "no" votes being cast in Mayotte, where there was a majority for remaining under French control.[1] In contrast, on Mohéli only five out of 6,059 votes were against independence. Voter turnout was 93.3%.[2]
Following the referendum, the country declared independence on 6 July 1975, with Mayotte remaining under French control.
