The early voting in the presidential election took place from May 7-9. Eight candidates are running for president, including incumbent Gitanas Nauseda, who seeks a second five-year term, and Lithuanian Prime Minister Ingrida Simonyte. If no one wins more than 50% of the vote, a runoff will be held on May 26. During the referendum, Lithuanians will vote for or against changing the basic law to remove a provision that makes Lithuanian citizens lose their citizenship once they acquire a foreign passport. Over 50% of all eligible voters in Lithuania, or around 1.2 million people, must vote in favor for the proposal to be adopted.
