1990 Bermudian death penalty referendum

A referendum on the death penalty for premeditated murder was held in Bermuda on 12 August 1990. The referendum was held following pressure from the United Kingdom government. The Parliament of Bermuda passed the Capital Punishment Referendum Act 1989 to provide for the referendum. Voters approved of retaining the penalty, with 79% voting in favour.

The death penalty was abolished in December 1999 by the Parliament of Bermuda.
