Electoral reform in American Samoa

Electoral reform in American Samoa refers to efforts to change the voting laws in the unincorporated territory of the United States located in the South Pacific Ocean southeast of the sovereign state of Samoa. In 2001, Congressman Eni Faleomavaega announced the introduction federal legislation to protect the voting rights of active duty military members whose home of residence is American Samoa^[1]. There have also been proposals to grant American Samoa a vote in the U.S. Congress, but these would likely face similar constitutional questions as DC Vote's proposals to grant the District of Columbia a vote.
