Questions
Voters were asked two questions:[2]
Hungarian text | English translation |
---|---|
Egyetért-e Ön azzal, hogy az egészségügyi közszolgáltató intézmények, kórházak maradjanak állami, önkormányzati tulajdonban, ezért az Országgyűlés semmisítse meg az ezzel ellentétes törvényt? | Do you agree with the notion that public health service institutions and hospitals should remain state or local government property, and, in accordance with that, the Parliament should repeal the contradictory law? |
Akarja-e, hogy az Országgyűlés törvényt alkosson arról, hogy kedvezményes honosítással – kérelmére – magyar állampolgárságot kapjon az a magát magyar nemzetiségűnek valló, nem Magyarországon lakó, nem magyar állampolgár, aki magyar nemzetiségét a 2001. évi LXII. törvény 19. paragrafusa szerinti magyarigazolvánnyal vagy a megalkotandó törvényben meghatározott egyéb módon igazolja? | Do you want the Parliament to pass a law that enables ethnic Hungarians with non-Hungarian citizenship and residence, who affirm their Hungarian nationality, either with a Hungarian identity card described in Par. 19 of Act LXII/2001, or in a way specified in the forthcoming law, to apply for and be granted Hungarian citizenship? |
Both measures were approved by voters, but the referendum failed due to a voter turnout of 37.5%.[2]
