Article 177
 

Issues that May be Brought to Local Referendum


(1) Issues that are of special importance for the respective locality, and that fall only within the jurisdiction of local public administration bodies, may be subject to local referendum.


(11) The text of the issue proposed for local referendum is drafted in a neutral manner, without any ambiguities or language which suggests an answer. It is not permitted to formulate issues which cancel each other out. 


(2) A referendum to recall a mayor may be initiated when a mayor does not act in the interests of the local community, does not properly exercise the responsibilities of his/her elective office, and does not act in accordance with current laws or breaches moral and ethical norms. Facts that verify these breaches must be confirmed in an established manner.
