1,396,828 voters took part in the referendum – this is 59% of the electorate. Of these, 1,014,304 (73.9%) voted for the change to allow dual citizenship, but this was not enough.
The total number of citizens included in the voter list this year was 2,385,234. To make a positive decision, half of the total number of citizens had to vote “for”, and this is 1,192,617 people.
This is the second time Lithuania has tried to adopt an amendment to Article 12 of the constitution and allow dual citizenship. In 2019, 1.24 million votes were needed, but 956,564 people voted yes.
