1953 United States Virgin Islands referendum

A referendum on councils and treasury was held in the United States Virgin Islands on 30 April 1953. It was largely a repetition of the questions from the 1948 referendum. The passage of all four questions in this referendum resulted in the 1954 Organic Act which governs relations with the United States of America to this day.
