referendum: Definition and Much More from Answers.com (5860 words) |
 | A referendum may be challenged on constitutional grounds, on grounds that proper procedures were not followed in the referendum process and election, or on grounds that the referendum or initiative was outside the scope of authority granted by the state constitution. |
| A further perceived flaw of the referendum is that in some circumstances the democratic spirit of the referendum may be flouted by the repeated submission to the referendum of a proposal until it is eventually endorsed, perhaps due to a low turn-out or public fatigue with the issue. |
| The 1980 Quebec referendum and 1995 Quebec referendum on the secession of Québec are notable cases. |
