The Latest: Turnout for Macedonian name change vote is low

SKOPJE, Macedonia (AP) — The Latest on Macedonia's referendum on a name change for the country (all times local): 3 p.m. A Macedonian election official says turnout in Macedonia's name change referendum stood at 16 percent six hours before the polls close. Macedonians are voting on whether to accept a deal with neighboring Greece under which they will change their country's name to North Macedonia and Greece will drop its objections to the country joining NATO. State Electoral Commission head Oliver Rekoski gave the 1 p.m. turnout figure. The government, which called the referendum, has described it as non-binding, meaning it could take the result as an accurate reflection of public opinion regardless of the turnout.
