A ballot from the 1887 referendum displaying no options

The 1887 Creeperian referendum, also known as The Six Scandal and The Great Fraud, was held on 5 October 1887 by Creeperian monarchists to support the continued reign of Creeperian emperor Adolfo III amidst tensions in Creeperopolis between monarchists and pro-democracy politicians. The referendum was held independently of the imperial government by conservative politicians that wanted to express their support for the country's monarchy. According to reporting from the Prensa Diario de La'Victoria newspaper, the referendum's organizers, known as "The Six" claimed that 15,321,549 voters from across the country supported Adolfo III's continued reign while zero opposed it. Modern analysts believe that no more than 100 people in the city of La'Victoria actually voted, and as there were legally no registered voters in Creeperopolis at the time, the referendum had a mathematically infinite voter turnout. Adolfo III himself condemned the referendum for "promoting democracy" and its organizers were arrested. (Full article...)
