Part VII. Questions About Emergency Situations and Amendments to The Voivodeship Charter
Question 30: What is the process of amending the Charter of our Voivodeship and Voivodeship Basic Resolutions?
30.1 An amendment to the Voivodeship Charter or the Voivodeship Basic Resolution shall be made by a majority of ⅔ of the full composition of the Diet and ⅔ weighted votes of the full composition of the Voivodeship Senate. After the adoption by our Diet and the Voivodship Senate, the amendment must be submitted for approval of the Senate of the Republic of Poland. In case of this approval, the amendment is subject to a Voivodeship Electronic Referendum or a Voivodeship Referendum. The amendment is adopted the Voivodeship Electronic Referendum or a Voivodeship Referendum was valid and more votes were cast for the amendment than against it.
30.2 Our Voivodeship may, by means of a Basic Voivodeship Resolution, decide on the division of the Voivodeship. Our Voivodeship and one of the Voivodeships adjacent to our Voivodeship may also, by means of uniform Voivodeship Basic Resolutions, decide to merge into one Voivodeship. In addition to obtaining the consent of the Senate of the Republic of Poland, the Basic Voivodeship Resolution on the division of our Voivodeship or the merger with another Voivodeship must be approved in a Voivodeship Referendum, the result of which must be binding with more votes for the division or merger cast than against. In this case, an Electronic Voivodeship Referendum is not acceptable.
30.3 In order to make it easier for citizens to navigate through this Charter and the Voivodeship Basic Resolutions, the Presidium of the Diet and the Presidium of the Voivodeship Senate shall, in a joint resolution, add, remove or change the inline links included in these acts.
