Following the Parliament’s rejection, the authors of a popular initiative must, according to the draft law, first collect 300,000 additional signatures, seek their certification by the Central Electoral Commission (CEC), and then apply to the Constitutional Court to rule on the constitutionality of the proposal (Articles 10.1 and 10.2 of the draft law). If the proposal is found unconstitutional, it shall be not put to referendum (Article 10.3).
