On Thursday, the third and final
day of early voting, 7,279 voters, or 0.43% of all eligible
voters, voted in an opposition-sponsored referendum challenging
pension bonuses for deserving artists, according to Slovenian
news agency STA. The National Electoral Commission (DVK)
reported an early voting turnout of 23,102, or 1.36%, on Friday.
The early turnout was significantly lower than in the most
recent referendums on euthanasia, cannabis, and preferential
voting in June 2024.
The referendum on pension bonuses for deserving artists will
take place on Sunday, when approximately 1.69 million Slovenians
will be able to vote at one of 2,978 polling stations, 88 omnia
polls, and 29 stations located at Slovenia's consular and
diplomatic missions around the world, STA informed.
