ELTA reminds that the three-day early voting in the presidential elections and the referendum on the preservation of citizenship began on Tuesday. The main election day is Sunday.
8 candidates are competing for the post of the head of the country – Gitanas Nausėda, who is seeking a second term, Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė nominated by the conservatives, representative of the Freedom Party, former chairman of the Constitutional Court (KT) Dainius Žalimas, independent candidates Ignas Vėgėlė and Eduardas Vaitkus, founder of the “Nemunos aušra” party Remigijus Žemaitaitis , nominated by Giedrimas Jeglinskas of the Democratic Union “Vardan Lietuvos” and Andrius Mazuronis, chairman of the Labor Party.
In the referendum ballot, it will be proposed to abandon the sentence currently written in the Constitution: “except for the individual cases provided for by law, no one can be a citizen of the Republic of Lithuania and another state at the same time”. This provision does not allow the preservation of Lithuanian citizenship after acquiring the citizenship of another state.
According to CEC data, a total of 2 million 385 thousand 234 voters have the right to elect the President of Lithuania and express their opinion in the referendum on the preservation of citizenship this year.
