Article 141. Referendums(2) The authority conducting a referendum shall ensure that: (a) The referendum asks a question clearly, in a manner designed to elicit the genuine view of the voter and does not obscure the nature of the choice that the voter faces; and (b) That neither a question, the design of the ballot paper nor the procedure suggests a particular answer to the question.

Comment

No provision was found in this regard, however the legislation does state that 'the authority conducting a referendum' shall deal with these matters.
