A constitutional referendum was held in Malta between 2 and 4 May 1964.[1] The new constitution was approved by 54.5% of voters, and came into effect on 21 September 1964. It was effectively a referendum on independence, as the new constitution gave the country self-government.
The Constitutional Party led by Mabel Strickland boycotted the referendum.
