Slovakia holds referendum to enable snap election

Slovakia held a nationwide referendum Saturday on amending the country’s constitution to make possible an early election.
President Zuzana Caputova’s decided on the ballot last year after three opposition parties gathered over 380,000 signatures supporting the move.
The constitution currently doesn’t offer such an option. In Saturday’s vote, Slovaks are asked whether they agree that the Constitution should be amended to allow a snap election if it’s approved by Parliament or in a referendum.
Slovakia’s constitutional court ruled in November at Caputova’s request that another referendum question – proposed by the opposition – asking whether the government should immediately resign, violates the constitution.
