# State Attorney opposes voting rights suspension

3 November 2026 at 13:25

> The State Attorney's Office has challenged a request to block voting rights for descendants naturalised under the Law of Democratic Memory.

The **State Attorney's Office** has filed allegations in the **Supreme Court** opposing a request by **Iustitia Europa** and **Vox** to suspend voting rights for descendants of individuals naturalised under the **Law of Democratic Memory** for the upcoming 29 November polls.

The Supreme Court previously ordered that votes from 163,000 people naturalised as children or grandchildren of exiles be withheld. Extending this to 189,000 others under section 1.b could jeopardise legal procedures and affect the final election count.

The State Attorney argues the measure exceeds judicial authority and calls the request for a nominal list of voters linked to their progenitors' naturalisation path impossible to fulfill. Parties have until Tuesday, 3 November 2026, to submit allegations.
