Referendum status
The referendum was declared invalid because the legally required turnout threshold was not reached.
Under the Local Referendum Act, at least 3 173 people were required to participate (three-fifths of the number of participants in the April 2024 local government elections). Actual turnout was 2 477 people.
The Municipal Council in Nowogrodziec was not dismissed and continues to perform its duties.
Does this mean that the feud between most of the councilors and the mayor will continue in full force? Time will tell.
