Compulsory referendum

Japanese: compulsory referendum(英語表記)compulsoryreferendum
Compulsory referendum


[Three types]
In a referendum system, after the legislative body passes a proposed constitutional amendment or law, a certain period is allowed before it is published and put to a national referendum. If a national referendum is held during this period, the vote is considered the final decision. There are three types of referendums, depending on who initiates the referendum. The first type is used in about half of the Swiss cantons, and is a system in which all bills passed by the parliament are automatically put to a national referendum in the next election, and is called a compulsory referendum. The second type is a system in which a bill passed by the parliament is put to a national referendum if the people request it by submitting a certain number or percentage of the signatures of the electorate, and is called an optional referendum.
