A constitutional referendum will be held in Lithuania on 12 May 2024 alongside the first round of the presidential elections.[1] Voters will be asked whether they approve of a constitutional amendment to allow Lithuanians to hold multiple citizenships.

Background

As holding dual citizenship is banned in most cases,[1] around 1,000 Lithuanian citizens give up their citizenship each year to take another citizenship.[2]

A referendum on the same issue was held in 2019. Although 74% voted in favour, the number voting in favour was below the 50% of all registered voters required to validate the referendum.

The holding of the 2024 referendum was approved by the Seimas on 23 May 2023 by a vote of 111–0.[1]

Campaign

The "Yes" vote has been endorsed by presidential candidates Giedrimas Jeglinskas, Aurelijus Veryga and Dainius Žalimas, as well as the Homeland Union-Lithuanian Christian Democrats, the Social Democratic Party of Lithuania, and the Labour Party.[3]
