Palauan constitutional referendum, 1992

A constitutional referendum was held in Palau on 4 Novemner 1992. The changes to the constitution would lower the threshold of the majority required for approving the Compact of Free Association with the United States from 75% to 50%, after seven previous referendums had approved the Compact, but not by the majority required, whilst another referendum had approved a lowering of the threshold, but then been declared void by the Supreme Court.

The change was approved by 62.4% of voters, with an 83.2% turnout. Following this, an eighth referendum was held the following year, which finally approved the Compact.^[1]
