However, in some states checking of signatures is performed at regional or local level. In Hungary, it is the responsibility of the local or district election commission, depending on the level at which the referendum is being held. In Italy the local judicial authorities or special bodies of the regional councils have competence for regional referendums, and special branches of local authorities for local referendums. In the Czech Republic signatures are checked by the municipal council. Lastly, in Austria and Switzerland, the federated entities' legislation determines the competent body.
