Cooks referendum during November election, Radio New Zealand International (2010)
This article reports on the government decision to hold a national referendum in the Cook Islands in November, on the same day of the general elections. The referendum, presented by the Group for Political Change, will ask voters if they want to reduce the number of MPs, and it will be binding: if approved by the people, it will go directly to the parliament. However, two thirds of the MPs will have to vote it. There are currently 24 members in the parliament, for 18,000 citizens.
