Paragraph 86
 

As was already recommended in the previous joint opinions, turnout requirements should be removed from Articles 91 and 93. The same comment is valid for Articles 136 on local elections and 171 and 199 on referenda, even though the turnout requirements here are lower and absent for repeat local elections. Bearing in mind the problems that might be generated by turnout requirements, many countries do not consider them even as a precondition for the validity of the referenda.[35]
