Legal provisions for direct democracy at the local level
Papua New Guinea
‘Local-level government’ as it is known in PNG is established and governed by the PNG-wide Organic Law on Provincial Government and Local-level Governments 1998 (linked in the previous question) and by the PNG wide Local-level Governments Administration Act 1997
Both Acts deal with elections of local-level government representatives, but make no provision for referenda, plebiscites or other direct democracy measures. (This is consistent with their absence at a national level, and restriction to questions of independence and government on the Autonomous island of Bougainville).
