While 80 per cent of the voters took part in the 1996 elections, eight years later the turnout slumped to 46 per cent, Schwarz-Schilling's office noted in a statement Monday, attributing it partly to a requirement for voters to check their registration at every election.
Dok je na izbore 1996. godine izišlo 80 posto birača, osam godina kasnije odaziv je pao na 46 posto, navodi se u priopćenju koje je u ponedjeljak objavio Schwarz-Schillingov ured, pripisujući to djelomično potrebi da birači pred svake izbore provjere jesu li pravilno registrirani.
