A referendum on the approval of the Catalan Statute of Autonomy was held in Catalonia on Sunday, 2 August 1931. Voters were asked whether they ratified a proposed draft Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia, also known as the "Statute of Núria" (Catalan: Estatut de Núria).[1] Article 12 of the Spanish Constitution of 1931 allowed for Spanish provinces to be organized into "autonomous regions", provided that a regional Statute was proposed by a majority of the provinces' municipalities comprising at least two-thirds of the provincial population and that two-thirds majority of all those eligible to vote accepted the draft Statute.[2]

The referendum resulted in 99.5% of valid votes in support of the draft Statute on a turnout of 75.3%, representing 74.8% of the electorate. The draft Statute was subsequently submitted to the consideration of the Spanish Cortes, which finally approved it on 9 September 1932 with a 314–24 result.[3]
