Voorstel van wet van de leden Heijnen, Voortman en Schouw houdende regels inzake het raadgevend referendum (Wet raadgevend referendum)

Stage otherUpdated 6d ago

This is a members' bill, introduced by three Members of the Tweede Kamer (Heijnen, Voortman and Schouw), that would set out rules for advisory referendums in the Netherlands. An advisory referendum lets voters express an opinion on a law or policy, but the result does not automatically become binding. The bill concerns how such votes would be initiated, organised and handled. This summary is based on the procedure's metadata only, not the full text of the bill. The bill would mainly affect Dutch citizens who could take part in a referendum, the national government, and Parliament, whose role in initiating and responding to referendums would depend on the final wording. Specific conditions and procedures should be checked in the bill text.

National vote coverage: Netherlands-only
