Paragraph 70
 

Articles 91, 93(3) and 136 provide the turnout criteria for valid elections. It is a question whether there should be a turnout requirement at all for elections. For referenda such requirement is reasonable since a decision is not a necessity. However, for elections it often ends up in a stalemate, and the next attempts do often give even lower turnouts.
