A referendum on direct election of governors and vice governors was held in American Samoa on 4 August 1973. Voters were asked to approve a proposal which permitted direct popular election of governors and lieutenant governors. As with the previous similar referendum, the turnout of 23.60% was very low, and the measure was rejected, with 34.30% voting yes and 65.70 voting no.[1] An identical measure would be put before voters two more times until it was approved in 1976.
