There are clerical errors with references to the Constitution in Articles 3 and 6(1) of the Law on Organization and Conduct of the Referendum. The Constitution was amended in 2003, and four new articles were inserted as a result.

 

This resulted in the re-numbering of some articles: for example, “Article 152 became, in the republished form, Article 156.”

 

Article 3 of the Law on…Referendum states that the issues stated in Article 148 of the Constitution may not be subject to referendum. In the updated 2003 version of the Constitution, this corresponds to Article 152.

 

Article 6(1) of the Law on…Referendum states that constitutional revisions are carried out as defined by Articles 146 and 147 of the Constitution. In the updated 2003 version of the Constitution, Articles 150 and 151 define the procedure for constitutional amendments.
