Orange is for the eligible countries which would not allow it due to their own national laws Lietuvių: Žemėlapyje mėlyna spalva pažymėtos šalys, kurių pilietybę įgijęs Lietuvos pilietis išsaugotų ir savo Lietuvos pilietybę tam pritarus 2019 m. gegužės 12 d. referendume. Oranžine spalva pažymėtos šalys, kurioms irgi būtų taikoma ši taisyklė, tačiau jos dvigubos pilietybės Lietuvos piliečiams neleistų pagal savo pačių nacionalinius įstatymus
context_page_description: A constitutional referendum was held in Lithuania on 12 May 2019, alongside the first round of the presidential elections. Two proposals were put to voters – one to reduce the number of MPs in the Seimas from 141 to 121 and one to allow Lithuanians to hold dual citizenship with a list of countries meeting "European or transatlantic integration criteria," which would be determined by law. In order for the constitutional amendments to be passed, voter turnout was required to be above 50%, and at least 50% of registered voters would have to vote in favour of the proposal.
  Despite 76% of those who voted voting in favour, the proposal to reduce the number of MPs failed as voter turnout was below the 50% threshold. The proposal on dual citizenship had a turnout of over 50% and was approved by 73% of those voting, but this amounted to only 38% of eligible voters.
caption: Green - Lithuania
  
  Blue - countries with which dual citizenship would be allowed under a draft law.
  
  Orange - countries which would meet the criteria in the draft law, but wouldn't allow dual citizenship with Lithuania under their own national law.
  
  Grey - countries that wouldn't meet the criteria.[1][4]
