Lazia, 6 June 2019 — Mahusetans have backed a right to self-defence and a right to internet access, and rejected a proposed right to die, in a consultative referendum whose results were declared today.
Voters were put three separate questions, each asking whether they supported the introduction of a particular right. The referendum was consultative, its result advisory rather than binding.
The right to self-defence was endorsed unanimously. The right to internet access was approved, with 80% in favour and 20% against. The right to die was rejected, 60% opposed against 20% in favour.
Voting opened on 29 May, Mahuset Day, after registration forms had been circulated to citizens, and the count was declared on 6 June. The vote fell in an eventful week: on 27 May the co-founder XO revoked his Mahusetan citizenship and stepped away from government, in what was described at the time as "the end of an era", though his home state of Matsia remained part of Mahuset.
The vote came some months after the February constitutional referendum, which had suspended the Lazian Chamber and the Supreme Court and vested their powers in the National Convention of 2019.
