First, it has to be pointed out that the draft law provides for a number of similar rules for the regulation of referendums and people’s initiatives at the levels of national, provincial and local government. It takes into account differences between referendums at these various levels. However, further differentiations would be indicated. For instance, the number of signatures requested should be smaller at the provincial and local level than at the national level, and could be defined as a proportion of the number of registered voters. A maximum and a minimum number could be defined in the national legislation, leaving some space for provincial and local authorities to fix the exact number.
