Referendum law

A referendum law is a legal process that allows citizens to approve or reject specific laws or policies directly, rather than leaving the decision solely to lawmakers. When a referendum is initiated—either by government proposal or citizen petition—it typically involves a public vote. This process ensures that major legislative changes reflect the will of the people. The law outlines the procedures for proposing, approving, and conducting referenda, including requirements for signatures, notice periods, and voting methods. Overall, it empowers citizens to participate actively in shaping their laws and government decisions through direct democracy.
