Paragraph 62
 

Article 126 (3) of the Electoral Code recognizes the right to abrogate parts of a law through a general referendum.  This appears to conflict with Article 150 of the Constitution as the latter grants the right to abrogate a law- not the right to rewrite portions through selective referendum abrogation.[37]  The OSCE/ODIHR and Venice Commission recommend that Article 126 be amended in order to comply with Article 150, clause (1) of the Constitution.
