Overview
- The referendum office of the Court of Cassation admitted four petitions on November 19 and set the standard, title-based ballot question.
- The constitutional vote concerns the law titled “Norms on the judicial system and the establishment of the Disciplinary Court,” approved by Parliament and published on October 30, 2025.
- The Council of Ministers must propose the date, and the President of the Republic will formally call the vote within sixty days of admission.
- Under law 352/1970, the ballot must be held on a Sunday between the 50th and 70th day after the decree calling the vote, with March 29 as the latest possible date.
- Reporting suggests the government may seek an earlier consultation to leverage current polling and leave time for implementing laws before the CSM’s term ends in early 2027, with mid-January cited as theoretically possible if the cabinet acts by late November.
