An independence referendum was held in the Estonian SSR on 3 March 1991,[1] alongside a similar referendum in the Latvian SSR the same day. It was approved by 78% of voters with an 83% turnout. Independence was restored by the Estonian Supreme Council on the night of 20 August.[2]
Voters were asked "Do you want the restoration of the national independence and sovereignty of the Republic of Estonia?"[3][4]
