A federal referendum was held on Saturday 10 December 1955 in Craftia on the issues of women's suffrage and the first-past-the-post voting system.
The proposal for women's suffrage won a decisive majority (62.25% in favour), and the referendum was carried, while the proposal to change the first-past-the-post voting system was narrowly defeated by a razor margin of 1,153 votes (1.28%). Craftia would retain the first-past-the-post voting system for general elections at the federal level until independence in 1987.
