Illustration for Referendums Framework Bill

The proposed law says that when it talks about a "regulated period" for a referendum, it means the same time frame as a "regulated period" for a general election. This time frame is decided using section 3B of the 1993 Act. You can think of the "regulated period" as a specific time when certain rules apply to a referendum or election.
