Mrtva utrka na islandskom referendumu: opcija sklona Europskoj uniji u tijesnom vodstvu Pobjedu opcije 'za' priželjkuju u Bruxellesu Prvi nepotpuni rezultati referenduma o ponovnom pokretanju

Timeline

  1. Na Islandu je održan referendum o tome treba li zemlja nastaviti pregovore o pristupanju Evropskoj uniji, s rezultatima koji pokazuju gotovo savršeno podijeljene glasače. Nakon prebrojanih 153.197 glasova od oko 270.000 prijavljenih birača, 50,1 posto je glasalo protiv nastavka pregovora dok je 49,9 posto glasalo za, što predstavlja razliku od samo 435 glasova, a konačni rezultat bio je još uvijek neizvjestan jer nije burojani svi glasovi.

  2. Early counts after 87,000 votes showed a slight lead for the 'yes' option at 51.2 percent, but later results after 152,000 ballots counted reversed the trend, with the 'no' option now leading at 50.1 percent.

  4. New reports confirm that the anti-negotiation option won with 52-52.8% of votes, contrary to initial results showing a narrow lead for the pro-membership side. The outcome is now described as clear and final, with only one minor electoral unit's data outstanding that could not change the result.
