Referendum invalid, election office rules
Budapest (MTI) – The National Election Office (NVI) officially declared Hungary’s migrant quota referendum invalid, as the number of valid votes cast did not reach the 50-percent-plus-one threshold.
NVI chief Ilona Pálffy said after 98.82 percent of the votes had been counted that the number of valid votes was 3.2 million.
The referendum would have required just over 4.1 million valid votes for it to have been declared valid.
