Wijziging van de Gemeentewet in verband met het afschaffen van het raadplegend burgemeestersreferendum

This Dutch bill amends the Municipalities Act (Gemeentewet) to remove the advisory mayoral referendum, a mechanism that allowed local residents to be consulted through a non-binding vote on a question put forward by the mayor. The title indicates the bill would abolish this option entirely, reflecting a change in how Dutch municipalities may seek public opinion on local matters. The change would primarily affect Dutch municipalities, their mayors and councils, and residents who could previously be asked to vote in such consultations. Because the metadata gives no further detail, the precise scope and reasoning behind the abolition should be checked in the full bill text. This summary is based on metadata only.
