Slovenians narrowly keep parliamentary investigation law

Reported by 1 outlet · first reported Oct 10, 8:00 PM ET

Slovenians voted in a referendum on whether to overturn the Law on Parliamentary Investigation adopted in May 2026. Reported results show the law was upheld by a narrow 51% to 49% margin.

Why it matters

The close vote reflects deep polarisation over parliamentary oversight powers linked to Janez Janša's government.

Background

Janez Janša is a long-time leader of Slovenia's right-wing SDS party and has served multiple terms as prime minister. Slovenia allows referendums to challenge laws passed by the National Assembly.
