Referendum Commission

The Referendum Commission is established as an independent statutory body under the Referendum Act 1998 to oversee an information campaign on a proposed amendment to the Constitution; to facilitate debate and discussion on the matter; and to do so in a manner which is fair to all interests concerned.

It is the responsibility of the Minister for the Environment and Local Government to establish a Referendum Commission for each proposed amendment, should he so wish.

The most recent Referendum was held on 11 June 2004 on the issue of citizenship.
