A referendum in Slovakia concerning the abolition of the windfall tax and the reinstatement of specialized prosecutor’s offices (ÚŠP and NAKA) experienced historically low voter turnout, reaching approximately 16 percent. This marks the lowest participation rate since a failed referendum in the past. Minister of Defence Jaroslav Naď had hoped for at least 20 percent participation. The referendum aimed to gauge public opinion on reversing measures implemented by the current government. The low turnout casts doubt on the public’s engagement with, or support for, the proposed changes. Official results are pending, but the lack of voter participation suggests the referendum is unlikely to meet the required threshold for validity. This outcome represents a significant challenge to those advocating for the reversal of the current policies.
