Voorstel van wet van de leden Baudet en Van Houwelingen houdende regels inzake een breed raadgevend referendum (Wet raadgevend referendum naar Zwitsers model)

Stage otherUpdated 6d ago

This is a private member's bill in the Dutch House of Representatives, submitted by MPs Baudet and Van Houwelingen. It proposes rules for a broad advisory referendum modelled on the Swiss system, allowing citizens to put questions to a national popular vote. The bill is based on its title only; the full text and any amendments were not reviewed. If adopted, the bill would give Dutch voters a formal route to hold nationwide advisory referendums on laws and policies, potentially affecting how national legislation is initiated and scrutinised. Parliament, the government and the electorate would all be affected by any resulting procedural change.

National vote coverage: Netherlands-only
