Opinia prawna w sprawie możliwości udziału w referendum lokalnym osób nieposiadających zameldowania na pobyt stały w świetle dyspozycji art. 3 ustawy o referendum lokalnym

Based on the analysis of possibility to participate in a local referendum by persons without permanent registered residence, the author proves that the term “permanent residence” should be understood as residing in a specific locality, at a specific address, with the intention of permanent residence. This fact must be proved by the person wishing to take part in the referendum. According to the author, it is the obligation of the head of municipality, the mayor or president of town, to check whether the person applying for entry in the register of voters meets the requirement of permanent residence within the area of a given local government unit, before entering the applicant to register voters.
