How its law is changed

The official ways for the people it applies to, not only its legislature, to change the law here, from the provisions that set them.

Mauren

  • Initiative or referendum in the municipal assembly

    Signatures from Voters of the commune equal to 16.67% of the commune's voters (one sixth)

    • In writing, with reasons, in the way Art. 41 describes for a referendum
    • Only for matters Art. 41 makes subject to referendum: council decisions above the limit in the commune's Gemeindeordnung (CHF 100,000 to 300,000), and always the budget and tax surcharge, the zoning plan and building code, land sales and exchanges

    The municipal assembly deals with the matter; for a referendum against a council decision the assembly meets within four months of the filing (Art. 41 para. 5).

    Not where the referendum period ran out unused or a referendum was held; for building codes, zoning plans and other general council decisions, only two years after the decision

Liechtenstein

  • Popular initiative for a law

    1,000 signatures from Voting citizens of Liechtenstein (Landesbürger), each signature certified by the signer's commune within 42 days

    • Or three communes, by matching resolutions of their municipal assemblies, instead of the signatures
    • A proposal that would burden the State with a new or lasting expense must come with a proposal to cover it
    • Registered first with the Government (Anmeldung), which has it announced officially; the six weeks for the signatures run from that announcement (Volksrechtegesetz, LR 161, Art. 70 paras. 1 b, 2)
    • The Government checks it against the Constitution and the treaties; the Landtag takes it up at its next sitting and may declare it void, which can be appealed to the State Court (Volksrechtegesetz Art. 70b)

    The Landtag must take the proposal up at its next sitting (Art. 64 para. 2). A drafted initiative the Landtag does not accept goes to a popular vote (Volksrechtegesetz, LR 161, Art. 82).

    After a vote has rejected a request on the same subject, a new one is allowed only after two years (Volksrechtegesetz Art. 70 para. 3)

    • Or three communes, by matching resolutions of their municipal assemblies
    • The 30 days run from the official announcement of the Landtag's decision in the official gazettes, counted from the first publication, the day itself not included (Volksrechtegesetz, LR 161, Art. 70 para. 1 a)

    The law goes to a popular vote and takes effect only if the voters accept it (the absolute majority of valid votes cast in the whole country decides).

    A law the Landtag has declared urgent, and a financial decision below a one-off new expense of CHF 500,000 or a yearly new expense of CHF 250,000, are not subject to it
