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][2][3][4][5] The proposal was rejected by 96% of voters, with a voter turnout of 32%.[6][7][8]

The referendum was backed by oppositional Slovenian Democratic Party,[9] while the government called for a boycott.[10]
