Hungary Holds Referendum on EU Mandatory Migrant Plan

People in Hungary are voting in a referendum on accepting mandatory EU quotas for relocating migrants.

Right-wing Prime Minister Viktor Orban opposes plans to relocate a total of 160,000 migrants across the bloc, BBC reports.

Under the scheme, announced after last year's migrant crisis, Hungary would receive 1,294 asylum seekers.

Opinion polls suggest strong support for a rejection among those who say they will vote. To be valid, turnout needs to be over 50% of voters.
