A constitutional referendum was held in Antigua and Barbuda on 6 November 2018,[1] the first referendum in the country's history.[2] The proposed constitutional amendment, which ultimately failed to pass, would have made the Caribbean Court of Justice the final court of appeal, replacing the London-based Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.[3] A quorum of 66.6 % of the valid votes in favour was required for the amendment to be approved.[4]

Grenada also held a referendum on joining the CCJ on the same day; that vote also failed to pass.[5][6]

Question

Voters were asked to respond YES or NO to the following question:[7]
