Amendment to referendum law for dual citizenship rejected by Seimas

The Seimas voted in support of the committee’s findings, with 69 votes for, 2 against, and 6 abstentions.

The amendments to the referendum law were suggested to make it easier to organise the referendum required to change Lithuania’s laws on dual citizenship. The amendment would hold the decision on article 12 of the Constitution to be passed if it is approved by 2/3 of the citizens that participate in the referendum.
