The conduct of electoral direct democracy instruments – referendums, citizens’ initiatives, and recall votes – raises issues which are for the most part similar to those raised by the conduct of elections. Additional issues may include the phrasing of the question(s) put to voters, verification of correct use of processes to call direct democracy votes – a contentious issue, for example, in Venezuela’s presidential recall vote in 2004 - and the regulation of campaigning and voter education. In the US state of Oregon, the EMB is required to distribute to every household, a collection of the position statements submitted by citizens on each issue submitted to referendum. It is usual for EMBs to be responsible for the organisation both of elections and of direct democracy instruments.
