The two present drafts of the laws on All-Ukrainian referendums (draft laws introduced by Mr Kliuchkovsky 1374-1 and by Mr Lavrynovych 1374) try to elaborate the rules of referenda within the legal framework of the present constitution. However, certain provisions in the draft seem to go beyond the constitutional norm and can result in politically motivated manipulation of the referendum, notably, in changing the Constitution in a way not foreseen by the text of the Constitution of Ukraine.[4]
