Naturalised Hungarians register to vote in quota referendum
Baile Tusnad, July 21 (MTI) – The government is encouraging naturalised Hungarians living beyond the border to vote in the October 2 referendum on the European Union’s migrant quota scheme, government spokesman Zoltán Kovács said on Thursday.
Addressing a forum as part of the 27th Tusnádfürdő (Baile Tusnad) summer university, Kovács said that ethnic Hungarians would have a chance to voice their opinion for the first time in a Hungarian referendum.
Ilona Pálffy, head of the National Election Office (NVI), noted that so far 259,000 naturalised Hungarians had registered to vote in the referendum, pushing the threshold for holding a valid popular vote to 4,230,000.
