2014 San Marino referendum

Two referendums were held in San Marino on 25 May 2014. Voters were asked whether they approved of repealing laws on pensions reform and on medical practice, both of which were passed by the legislature in October of 2013. Voters approved both proposals.

Background

Prior to the referendums, the quorum required for a proposal to be approved was reduced from 32% to 25%, meaning that 8,398 voters had to vote in favour for the proposals to be approved. ^[1] Both of the referendums were to repeal laws passed by the Grand and General Council on 23 October 2013. ^[2]

Campaign

The ruling Sammarinese Christian Democratic Party–Party of Socialists and Democrats–Popular Alliance coalition campaigned against both the proposals. ^[3] The Socialist Party supported repealing the medical practice law. ^[4] The Union for the Republic also supported the repeal of the medical practice law, but opposed repealing the pensions law. ^[5]

Results

The referendums were held on 25 May 2014. ^[2] Both referendums were approved in a landslide receiving around 80 percent of the vote. ^{[6] [7]}
