Direct democracy

Direct democracy describes those rules, institutions and processes that enable the

public to vote directly on a proposed constitutional amendment, law, treaty or

policy decision. The most important forms of direct democracy covered in this

Primer are referendums and initiatives.

${\bf \ Where \ is \ direct \ democracy \ used?}$

Referendums are occasionally used throughout the world as an extraordinary

measure, most often to ratify or amend a constitution or to decide on questions of

statehood. Some democracies make more extensive and regular use of referendums and initiatives, making these instruments complementary to representative democracy.

${\bf{Forms \ of \ direct \ democracy}}$

In this Primer, the term ‘direct democracy’ is used to designate mechanisms that enable the electorate to vote on a specific law, treaty, constitutional amendment, policy or other public decision. The main forms of direct democracy are referendums (the alternative plural form ‘referenda’  is also widely used) and citizens’ initiatives.

1. Referendums give the people a direct vote, which may be binding on advisory, on a specific political, constitutional or legislative issue that is referred to them by governing institutions (presidents, cabinets, parliaments etc.). The people’s role is usually limited to ratifying or repealing decisions that have already been taken by such institutions or to accepting or rejecting propositions that these governing institutions have put forward.
2. Citizen's initiatives give the electorate a direct vote, which may be binding or advisory, on a specific political, constitutional or legislative issue that isinitiated by the people. They precede the decisions of governing institutions, and in some jurisdictions may even enable new laws or constitutional amendments to be adopted without the consent of the elected legislature. They are typically proposed by a petition with a certain number of signatures.

Some mechanisms are difficult to classify. For example, the abrogative

referendum in Italy has many characteristics of an initiative, in that it can be triggered by a public petition, but it is usually classed as a referendum because new laws cannot be proposed; it only allows people to vote retrospectively on

repealing a law that has been enacted by parliament.

The terminology for direct-democracy mechanisms is not standardized.

Different terms are used in different counties to describe similar institutions and

processes. Citizens’ initiatives are sometimes also known as ballot propositions or citizen-initiated referendums, depending on the jurisdiction and context. Referendums conducted at the discretion of the government have often been called plebiscites, a term that may have negative connotations in some contexts. For clarity, this Primer uses the terminology set out in Direct Democracy: The International IDEA Handbook (2008).

Another mechanism that is frequently referred to as a form of direct democracy

is the recall vote, which enables citizens, usually following a petition signed by a

certain number of constituents, to vote on the removal from office of a representative or elected official. Recall does not, however, enable people to vote on a substantive legislative or policy decision, so it is best considered as a variation on the rules of a representative democracy; as such, it is not covered in this Primer.
