Legal provisions for direct democracy at the regional level

“Consultative referendums

Members of the Danish Parliament and regional and municipal councils may also decide to hold a consultative referendum. This means that citizens are consulted prior to politicians making their final decision. To date, the Danish Parliament has only held one consultative referendum, namely in 1986 where the Danes were consulted on the so-called EU package.”
