Abstract: Let $M^{n+1}$ be a closed, connected smooth manifold, where $n\geq 1$. For each prescribed volume fraction $s\in(0,1)\setminus\{\frac12\}$, we prove that the isoperimetric region of volume $s \operatorname{Vol}_g(M)$ is unique for a generic set of smooth Riemannian metrics $g$. At half volume, a generic metric has exactly two minimizers, a region $E$ and its complement $E^c$. As consequences, for every $m>0$, uniqueness holds for a generic set of metrics $g$ satisfying $m<\operatorname{Vol}_g(M)$, and it also holds for a generic set of pairs $(g,m)$ with $0
