The vote is considered the first test for the right-wing government of Prime Minister Janez Janša, formed in June this year
U Slovenia voting began on Sunday at four referendum, three advisory and one legislative. More than 3.000 polling stations will be open until 7 p.m., and the first results are expected after 8:30 p.m., the Slovenian News Agency (STA) reported.
The vote is considered the first test for the right-wing government of Prime Minister Janez Janša, formed in June this year.
The legislative referendum, where citizens decide on amendments to the Law on Parliamentary Investigation, adopted by the National Assembly on May 26, 2026, has the greatest legal weight. In order for the law to be rejected, at least a fifth of all eligible voters must vote against it.
The remaining three referendums are advisory in nature and their results are not binding. Citizens are declaring the abolition of the mandatory subscription to the programs of the Radio and Television of Slovenia, making social assistance conditional on the performance of community service and limiting the right to vote in local elections to Slovenian citizens and citizens of European Union members, excluding citizens of other countries.
Voters can participate in one or more referendums, depending on their own decision, but they can go to the polling station only once, announced the State Election Commission (DVK).
Voting was also possible in advance, from Tuesday to Thursday. 75.401 voters used that opportunity, which represents 4,44 percent of the total number of citizens with the right to vote.
According to the announcement of the election commission, the election committees will first determine the results of the legislative referendum, and then the results of the advisory statements, respectively, on social assistance, the right to vote in local elections and the abolition of the mandatory RTV subscription.
During the vote, the voters in the legislative referendum choose between the options "for" and "against", while in the advisory statements they declare the proposed changes in the same way.
