The whites-only referendum on continuing reform. 17 March 1992

This is not a real election. Unofficial. Not an official election. Votes do not count. Results are self-selected and for interest only. ifivoted.com is not affiliated with the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC), any government body or any political party. Results here are not representative of any population and must not be reported as polling or as predicting any outcome. Official historical results are shown for comparison and are attributed to their sources.

Only white South Africans could vote in this referendum. Here, anyone can re-cast it. It was the last vote in South Africa limited by race; two years later came universal suffrage.
