Voorstel van wet van het lid Leijten houdende verandering in de Grondwet, strekkende tot opneming van bepalingen inzake het correctief referendum

Stage otherUpdated 6d ago

This is a citizen-initiative bill from Member of Parliament Leijten in the Dutch House of Representatives. It would amend the Constitution to include provisions on a corrective referendum, a mechanism that lets voters challenge a law already passed by parliament and ask for it to be put to a popular vote. The metadata does not show the full text, so the exact thresholds and procedures are not described here. If adopted, the change would affect Dutch citizens, who could gain a direct say over national legislation, and parliament, whose laws could be subject to voter review. The bill is at the proposal stage, so its effects depend on the final wording and any amendments.
