An unofficial referendum on integration into Sweden was held in Åland in June 1919. The vote took the form of a petition, in which participants signed in either a yes or a no column. It was organised by the Lagting and approved by a vote on 1 June.
The proposal was supported by a large majority of participants but had no legal effect. In 1921, the League of Nations ruled that Finland would retain sovereignty over Åland, and the islands remained under Finnish control.
