C. Admissibility/Validity criteria

The Bill lays down, albeit at times in implicit form, the key formal admissibility criteria recommended by the Code of Good Practice (see para. III.2). “Unity of form” should be guaranteed by the rules on the “object” of each kind of referendum (Articles 34, 38, 40, 42). It seems that Article 34 provides for votes on specifically-worded drafts as well as on “generally-worded proposals”; Articles 34 and 38 should however be made clearer. “Unity of hierarchical level” could also be expressed more clearly, given that referendums are designed to cover both laws and regulations. “Unity of content” is implied by Article 25.4.
