New Caledonia set for final vote on independence from France | Al Jazeera

Voters go to the polls in New Caledonia on Sunday in the third and final referendum on independence for the French-ruled Pacific territory.

The independence movement saw incremental gains in the two previous referendums on independence from France, which were held in 2018 and 2020.

But the decision of its major parties to boycott the final referendum has stoked discord ahead of the December 12 vote.
