Federal Constitutional Law No. 5-FKZ of September 27, 2002 on Amending the Federal Constitutional Law on the Referendum of the Russian Federation

Amendments are introduced in Article 8 of the law as envisaging the establishment of a ban on federal referendum initiation during federal election campaigns and also when a referendum coincides with the last year in office of the President of the Russian Federation, the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation.
