A Bill to require a supermajority of votes in favour of a proposal for constitutional change on which a referendum is being held in order for it to be decided in the affirmative.
House of Commons
2 November 2023
The Referendums (Supermajority) Bill would change how decisions on constitutional-change referendums are made. It would require a higher, supermajority of affirmative votes for a proposal to pass, instead of a simple majority of votes cast. This applies only to referendums about constitutional change, and the exact threshold would be set by the legislation, with turnout potentially affecting whether the threshold is met.
