A constitutional referendum was held in Lithuania on 29 June 2014.[1] Proposed amendments to articles 9, 47 and 147 of the constitution would have reduced the number of signatures required to call a referendum from 300,000 to 100,000, prevent foreigners from owning land in the country, and require all decisions related to the exploitation and extraction of natural resources that would have national and local importance to require approval by referendum.[2]
Although 73% of voters voted in favour of the changes, the result was invalidated by a turnout of just 14.98%.[3][4]
