On this day in 2013, the Falkland Islands Sovereignty Referendum took place. 🗳️
With a 92% turnout, Islanders exercised our right to self-determination and voted definitively (99.8%) to remain a UK Overseas Territory. 🇫🇰🇬🇧

5/ A great quirk of the Falklands system is that we also use mobile polling stations. 🚘
Because the population of the Falklands is sparse (in places), and we want to make it easy for people to vote, polling stations travel to voters on four wheels and via plane. 🛩️

North American readers: my little book is available for a bargain price on Amazon this month. Please consider buying it - both myself and Jeff Bezos need the cash. One of us more so than the other, but still. Linky: amazon.com/Whiteout-Thriller… @crookedlanebks

Today, Falklands student, Alexia Davis, spoke in the @HouseofCommons, representing the Falkland Islands at the UK Youth Parliament. Alexia spoke about @FalklandsGov support for students and what other Overseas Territories could learn from our approach. #Falklands 🇫🇰🇬🇧
