Parliamentary elections were held in the Federated States of Micronesia on 7 March 2017, alongside a referendum on allowing dual citizenship. Although the proposed constitutional amendment to allow dual citizenship was approved by a majority of voters, it did not pass the threshold of 75% voting in favour in at least three of the four states.
The 14 members of Congress are elected by two methods; ten are elected in single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting for two year terms. The four at-large Senators are elected on the basis of one from each state, for four year terms
Following the elections, the President and Vice-President are elected by the Congress, with only the four at-large Senators allowed to be candidates.
The constitutional amendment to allow dual citizenship was passed in all four states, but only by more than 75% of voters in Kosrae.
