Denmark ? Official results of a non-binding referendum show three out of every four voters approve a plan to give Greenland more autonomy from Denmark.

Greenland’s election commission says 76 percent voted “yes” on the referendum to extend home rule, while 24 percent voted “no.”

The plan calls for Greenland to take control over the local police force, courts and coast guard and to make Greenlandic, an Inuit tongue, the official language. It also sets new rules on how to split any future oil revenue between Greenland and Denmark.

Tuesday’s referendum was seen as a key step toward independence for the semiautonomous territory, which relies on Danish subsidies to sustain its economy.
