Paragraph 235
 

Most local or regional referendums are suspensive. This is the case in Armenia, Spain, the Netherlands (temporary law, even though referendums were consultative) and, in almost all cases, Switzerland (nevertheless, cantonal law can provide for an abrogative referendum). In Austria, the effect of a referendum depends on Länder law.
