"Are you in favor of implementing the law on assistance in voluntary termination of life, which was adopted by the National Assembly on July 24, 2025?" - this is how the question reads in the referendum held on Sunday (November 23) in Slovenia.
The law allows an adult patient, capable of making independent decisions about himself, to voluntarily end his life if he feels unbearable pain due to a serious incurable disease or other permanent damage health.
More than 3.000 polling stations are open until 7:00 p.m., and the first results are expected after 7:30 p.m., the Slovenian News Agency (STA) reported.
The law will be rejected in a referendum if a majority of voters vote against it, provided that at least one-fifth of all voters vote against the law.
According to the latest data, the number of voters is 1.696,025, which means that in order to reject the law, 339.205 voters need to vote against it.
