Obowiązek realizacji wiążącego wyniku referendum oraz skutki prawne zaniechania jego wykonania

The obligation to immediately undertake actions to execute binding results of a referendum through issuing normative acts or taking other decisions derives from the Act on the Nationwide Referendum. The adopted statute, which constitutes the execution of the results of the referendum, may be referred to the Constitutional Tribunal (both in the procedure of preventive and subsequent control). The Constitutional Tribunal is not bound by the results of a nationwide referendum. In the event of omission of the obligation to immediately undertake actions to execute the binding results of the referendum by the Sejm and the Senate, the Deputies and Senators are not legally accountable. However, in the case of the President of the Republic of Poland and members of the Council of Ministers, the question of their constitutional accountability shall be taken into account.
