Referendum Result: Speakership Election Amendment
Now let's do our referendum, which had 19 valid votes as things stand currently.
On the question of whether or not to ratify the Speakership Election Amendment, which would tweak the condition under which the Speaker Pro Tempore is called upon to preside over the inaugural session of a new Senate as opposed to the Vice President, 47.37% voted Aye. This falls short of the 2/3 majority required for constitutional amendments, so this amendment is rejected.
