Journal Title: Studia Wyborcze - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
Slovenia is one of those countries in Central and Eastern Europe, where referenda are often conducted at national level. Between 1996–2016 16 legislative referenda were held, and 22 subjects of the vote were decided by people in referenda. This was a significant number of referenda that both the Government and the State Assembly tried to limit the number of referendums due to concerns about the possibility of paralyzing the legislative process. The article is a legal analysis of direct democracy institutions in Slovenian legal system. The paper discusses the role of the referendum in the political system of Slovenia and explores the consequences of the constitutional amendment in 2013, which directly relates to limiting the range of entities authorized to initiate a referendum.
