The Constitution imposes several restrictions on when the recall referendum can be held. It cannot be held: </p> <ul><li>one year after the parliamentary elections</li> <li>one year before the parliamentary elections</li> <li>six months before the presidential elections</li> <li>six months after the last recall referendum.</li></ul> <p>There has been one such referendum, the <a href="/wiki/2011_Latvian_parliamentary_dissolution_referendum" title="2011 Latvian parliamentary dissolution referendum">parliamentary dissolution referendum of 2011</a>. </p><p>Substantial changes in the terms regarding Latvia's membership of the European Union must be decided by a national referendum if such a referendum is requested by at least one-half of the members of the Parliament. </p><p>In certain cases the President or one third of members of the Parliament have the right to suspend the proclamation of a law for a period of two months. A referendum will be held on that law if in that two-month period one tenth of the <a href="/wiki/Election#Electorate" title="Election">electorate</a> requests a referendum, except if the Parliament again adopts the law by three three-quarters <a href="/wiki/Super-majority" class="mw-redirect" title="Super-majority">super-majority</a>. <a href="/wiki/Voter_turnout" title="Voter turnout">Voter turnout</a> needed is 50% of the number of voters who participated in the last elections for the Parliament. If no referendum is requested in the two-month period, then the law is put into effect. Such a referendum has been held on three occasions: in <a href="/wiki/1998_Latvian_citizenship_referendum" title="1998 Latvian citizenship referendum">1998</a>, <a href="/wiki/1999_Latvian_pensions_referendum" title="1999 Latvian pensions referendum">1999</a> and <a href="/wiki/2007_Latvian_security_laws_referendum" title="2007 Latvian security laws referendum">2007</a> </p><p>The Constitution limits issues which can be submitted to a referendum. It forbids issues like budgets, taxes, military conscription, declarations of war, peace treaties, agreements with other nations, etc. </p><p>One tenth of the electorate can request amendment of the Constitution or adoption of a law. If the Parliament does not accept the amendment or the draft law, then it will be submitted to a referendum. Certain parts of the Constitution can be amended only by a referendum. An absolute majority (majority of all electors, regardless of voter turnout) is required for an amendment or a draft law to pass on such a referendum. The exception is decisions regarding Latvia's membership of the EU or substantial changes in the terms of membership of the EU - those measures need a voter turnout of 50% of the number of voters who participated in the last elections for the Parliament. Amendments to the Constitution have been put to a referendum in 2 cases: in <a href="/wiki/2008_Latvian_constitutional_referendum" title="2008 Latvian constitutional referendum">2008</a> and <a href="/wiki/2012_Latvian_constitutional_referendum" title="2012 Latvian constitutional referendum">2012</a>; the same was done for a draft law in <a href="/wiki/2008_Latvian_pensions_law_referendum"
