The National Election Committee (NVB) has officially declared Hungary’s April 3 referendum on child protection invalid, as the number of valid responses cast did not reach the 50-percent-plus-one threshold for any of the four questions.
A total of 4,107,652 valid responses needed to be cast in order for the referendum held in parallel with the general election to be valid, the NVB said. Between 3,870,042 and 3,910,436 valid responses (47-48pc) were given to the four referendum questions.
To the question: “Do you support children in public schools participating in classes demonstrating sexual orientations without parental consent?” 3,910,436 valid responses were given (47.6pc), of which 92.32 percent indicated ‘no’.
To the question: “Do you support information about gender change treatments being given to children?” 3,880,381 valid responses were given (47.23pc), of which 95.92 percent indicated ‘no’.
To the question: “Do you support media content of a sexual nature and affecting the development of children being presented to them without any restrictions?” 3,872,161 valid responses were given (47.13pc), of which 95.33 percent indicated ‘no’.
To the question: “Do you support media content presenting gender change being presented to children?” 3,870,042 valid responses were given (47.11pc), of which 95.17 percent indicated ‘no’.
The election committee’s decision is not final, and appeals can be submitted to the Kuria, Hungary’s supreme court, within three days. Under Hungary’s referendum law, a referendum is valid if voter turnout is over 50 percent. It is considered conclusive if more than half of the valid votes are cast for the same answer.

Hehe.
Wasn’t worth the paper it was written on. An absolute waste of money. I hope that’s the last of the pointless referendums.
In 2003 on the referendum to join the EU only 45.6% of electorate voted!
Just saying!
Oh no! What will we tell the European Union, now?
“media content of a sexual nature and affecting the development of children being presented to them without any restrictions?” Would that have included the pictures of semi naked women that appear in the DNH with tiresome regularity usually in a lascivious article under the nom de plume of ‘John Woods’?
Why has the % of LGBT in the US risen sharply? The blame can be placed on the education system. Democrats objected Governor DeSantis (Florida) because he enacted a law that forbids gender meandering. The law applies to all children in kindergarten up to and including grade 3.
In the US many young children return home, telling their parents that there are no longer boys or girls. It does not matter that this education causes anxiety among the children.
The question is are people happy in later life that have been brainwashed in the early years? There is some evidence that when younger than 18 year old trans, they become depressed and suicidal.
The Hungarian law should be enacted and not changed to accommodate Brussels or a the % of LGBT members, who use tyranny to manipulate children which could ruin the children’s lives.
The referendum should have only been asked from those that have children!
Maria V T’ s last posting even more whacky than usual. Tyranny to manipulate children? What utter rubbish. What does she know about transgender people apart from what she’s seen in the gutter press?
