A referendum on the status of Southern Rhodesia was held in the colony on 27 October 1922. Voters, almost all of them White, were given the options of establishing responsible government or joining the Union of South Africa.[1] After 59% voted in favour of responsible government, it was officially granted on 1 October 1923 with the implementation of the First Cabinet of Southern Rhodesia.
The referendum came eight months after the 1922 Northern Rhodesian amalgamation referendum, where Northern Rhodesia had voted against union with Southern Rhodesia.
