The resolution, initiated by a special parliamentary task group, passed by a vote of 66 to two, with five abstentions.

"It's never too late to scrap everything, but we want a comprehensive approach from the government," Social Democratic MP Irena Šiaulienė said while presenting the draft resolution.

Through the resolution, the Seimas asked the government to work out "an economically optimal and user-friendly electricity supply strategy" and submit it to parliament.

It gave the government until the middle of next May to draw up the necessary legislation to implement the results of the referendum.

The document also calls on political parties and people in general to seek a broad national consensus "on ensuring rational, competitive, sustainable, and viable electricity supply."

In the October 14 referendum, 52.58 percent of Lithuanian voters turned out and 62.68 percent of them voted against building a new nuclear power plant.
