Question:Are there any Legal Provisions for Optional Referendums at the national level?
Answer: a. Yes
Comments: Constitutional amendments need a majority of three quarters (3/4) of the members of the National Assembly or are adopted by referendum.

The text adopted by the people at the referendum is promulgated within fifteen (15) days.
