Paragraph 12
 

Apart from that, other repetitions must also be noted. For instance, Art. 1.2 defines “an all-Ukrainian referendum” as “a way for Ukrainian citizens to adopt decisions on issues of national importance by a secret vote”. But Art. 3.1 says that “an all-Ukrainian referendum called by the public initiative is a way of citizens to adopt decisions on all issues…” And Art. 5.1 insist on saying that “An all-Ukrainian referendum on changing the territory of Ukraine is a way for citizens to approve/disapprove a draft…” Obviously, the general features of referendum should not be repeated when describing the differences among its various kinds.
