Slovenia – Referendum

On Sunday Slovenia held its second referendum of the year.

The vote took place to ratify the RTV Slovenija Act, which was designed to change the status of the public broadcasting company. The Act aimed to reverse a previous reform had been approved in a referendum in 2005.

Anyway, this time the referendum failed. Slovenia Times is reporting that the turnout was only 14.6% and that the ‘no’ vote won 72.6% of the votes cast.

The low turnout and the result is being seen as a vote against the incumbent government.

This was Slovenia’s 14th referendum since independence. Information about most of these referendums is available here.
