Legal provisions for direct democracy at the local level
Armenia
'Armenia signed the additional protocol of the Charter on March 18 2010. Further to ratification by the National Assembly Armenia will assume new obligations as to inclusion of the relevant requirements in its legislation, in particular, undertake all necessary measures to secure participation in local self-government, such as authorize local self-government bodies to enable, encourage and support implementation of the right of participation, and secure creation of:
a) procedures for engagement of population, which may include provision of consultancy, local referenda and petitions, as well as other means of involvement of population at large;'
A report on Armenia's reform (see source) on local government mentions some initiatives for improving local government. However, no legal acts have been found providing for local direct democracy procedures.
