A referendum on minority rights was held in Slovenia on 4 April 2004. Voters were asked whether they approved government proposals to restore basic rights to ethnic minorities who had been erased from the citizen registry in 1992.[1] The proposal was rejected by 96.05% of voters, with a turnout of 31.55%.[2]

The referendum was backed by oppositional Slovenian Democratic Party, whilst the government called for a boycott.[3]
