An independence referendum was held in French Algeria on 1 July 1962. It followed French approval of the Évian Accords in an April referendum. Voters were asked whether Algeria should become an independent state, co-operating with France; 99.72% voted in favour with a voter turnout of 91.88%.
Following the referendum, France declared Algeria to be independent on 3 July; the decision was published in the official journal the following day,[1] and Algerian leaders declared 5 July (the 132nd anniversary of the French arrival in Algiers) to be Independence Day.[2] When Algeria ceased to be part of France it also ceased being part of the European Communities.[3]
