Signatures for referendums held at the request of a section of the electorate have to collect for a period which is “not less than 2 months and more than 3 months” (Article 192(2)). ODIHR and the Venice Commission does not see why the collecting period should vary on a case-tocase basis. They recommend clarifying this provision by providing for the set period signature collection. Regarding the initiation of the referendum, Article 191 provides for a cumbersome process involving first an assembly with 300 persons and then an initiative group with 100 persons. ODIHR and the Venice Commission recommend reconsidering this too.
