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

Stage submittedUpdated 5mo ago

This legislative proposal aims to abolish the advisory referendum on the appointment of mayors in the Netherlands. The referendum was introduced to give citizens a voice in local governance. The change affects citizens and municipalities by removing a specific local democratic instrument. It simplifies the process for appointing mayors, shifting decision-making power.
