Restrictions Imposed on Holding a Republican Referendum


(1) A republican referendum may not be held if the country is under a state of emergency, siege or war, nor within 120 days after the respective status was lifted. If a date for a referendum coincides with a day declared later as a date of emergency, siege or war, then the referendum shall be de jure cancelled or postponed, pursuant to the terms of holding referendum stipulated by this Code. The decision to postpone a republican referendum shall be adopted by the body which issued the decision to hold the referendum.


(2) A republican referendum may not be held within 60 days before or after the day of parliamentary, presidential, or local general elections, only if they are being held on the same day. On the same day can’t be conducted two republican referenda.
