REFERENDUM​

---

Pursuant to the Constitution of Azalea Isles, once a constitutional amendment has passed Parliament and received the approval of the Crown, it must be ratified through referendum. In order to ratify any change to the Constitution, a referendum must be called in which approval from all electoral districts must be obtained. This necessitates a majority affirmation from each electoral district, or a supermajority if there is only one electoral district, for the proposed change to be ratified.

Azalea Isles currently consists of a single district, meaning that a supermajority is required for this vote of all citizens.
