The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe has adopted Resolution 2538, promoting the revised Code of Good Practice on Referendums, which was developed by the Venice Commission. This revised code addresses concerns about the fairness and legality of referendums in member states, emphasizing the need for compliance with the rule of law and democratic principles. It provides guidelines for holding referendums at various levels of government, primarily focusing on national referendums, while allowing for adaptation to local contexts. The Assembly encourages member states to disseminate and implement these guidelines, engage in dialogue to improve national referendum laws, and enhance the legal framework surrounding referendums. Additionally, the Assembly commits to promoting the revised code through discussions, interparliamentary cooperation, and the establishment of a network of election observers.
