Let's see what you have #AcademicTwitter 💪. In 2023, the citizens voted on a package of constitutional reforms alongside general elections. I can't find the results of the referendums anywhere. Can you help?

The binding effect, quorums, checks and balances and role of political parties - just some issues we discussed in the webinar "Navigating democracy legislations: why rules of the game matter"

@theresareidy A very low turnout is expected as these topics have not been debated actively, contrary to the prohibition of divorce, for example. But the mandatory referendums in #Ireland have no #turnout #quorums and no super-majority requirements, the simple #majority of votes is enough.

[Direct Democracy Navigator @democracyupdate]

Professor @theresareidy shares what you need to know about the #vote in #Ireland on March 8👇

❓ The mechanism is a #mandatory referendum, initiated by law when amending the Constitution.

To learn more about the mandatory referendum in Ireland, visit https://t.co/FQElV7r3CD

[Direct Democracy Navigator @democracyupdate]

@theresareidy The topics:
* to broaden the definition of the family from defining such on the basis of the marriage to a wider basis of durable relationships
* to delete the "women in the home" clause of the Constitution and to add a provision with the statement of the value of caregivers

"Taiwan presents an example of how the rules of the game really matter in shaping the dynamics of referendum politics" believes Professor Yen-tu Su.
