(legislative referendum)

The National Assembly calls a referendum on the implementation of the law it has adopted, if at least forty thousand voters request it.

It is not permissible to call a referendum:

-         on laws on emergency measures to ensure the defense of the country, security or elimination of the consequences of natural disasters,

-         on laws on taxes, customs duties and other mandatory duties and on the law adopted for the implementation of the state budget,

-         on laws on the ratification of international treaties,

-         on laws that eliminate unconstitutionality in the field of human rights and fundamental freedoms or other unconstitutionality.

All citizens who have the right to vote have the right to vote in the referendum.

A law is rejected in a referendum if the majority of voters who have validly voted vote against it, provided that at least one fifth of all voters vote against the law.

The referendum is regulated by a law adopted by the National Assembly with a two-thirds majority of the votes of the deputies present.
