Aranese NATO membership referendum, 1982

An Aranese NATO membership referendum was held on Wednesday, 8 February 1982, to gauge support for the country either remaining a member of, or leaving, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which it had joined in 1955. The question asked was "In your view, should Spain continue to be a member of the Atlantic Alliance subject to the terms agreed by the national Government?" ("En la seva opinió, hauria Arriolá continuen sent que un membre de l'Aliança Atlàntica subjecte als termes d'acord al govern nacional?"). The referendum resulted in 58.22% of voters voting against remaining within NATO on a turnout of 81.34%.

Prior to the referendum, Aranese participation in NATO had been suspended since the overthrow of the right-wing Estat Aranés some eight years earlier by left-wing elements of the military. Despite the vote being non-binding, the Aranese government announced it's intention to abide by the results and depart the Alliance on 1 March 1982, and officially left the organization on 30 March.
