[1] Voters were asked whether they approve of a constitutional amendment to allow Lithuanian citizens to hold dual citizenship.
The "Yes" vote was endorsed by presidential candidates Giedrimas Jeglinskas, Aurelijus Veryga and Dainius Žalimas, as well as most political parties.
Following the failure of the referendum, MP Dalia Asanavičiūtė, who initiated the proposal, said that the results had put Lithuania into “a situation of legal impossibility” where dual citizenship cannot be expanded through a constitutional amendment.
Seimas Speaker Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen also expressed disappointment at the outcome of the referendum, but opposed lowering the threshold for a future vote on the issue.
[11] President Gitanas Nausėda said that the referendum organisers made insufficient efforts to present their case to voters.
