CZThe Slovak referendum on abolishing President Andrej Kiska's pension and reinstating the special prosecution service and NAKA (National Anti-Corruption Authority) was declared invalid due to low voter turnout. According to unofficial results released by the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic, only 16% of eligible voters participated, falling short of the constitutional requirement of a majority. The final official results were expected to be announced on Sunday morning. Out of 4,369,989 registered voters, 705,227 turned out, with 698,757 valid ballots cast. Of these, 93.4% supported abolishing Kiska's pension, while 92.2% backed restoring the special prosecution service and NAKA. The petition for the referendum was initiated by the non-parliamentary party Demokrati, who originally proposed three questions but had one removed by President Peter Pellegrini, citing constitutional concerns. Both the government and opposition criticized the referendum as more of a political campaign than a genuine attempt at systemic reform. Authorities reported no major incidents during the voting process.
