The purpose of this document is to summarize the results of the follow-up made
by the organization Mas Democracia (member of the democracy
international (di) network) to monitor the referendum process that culminated
in the Spanish vote on the European Constitution on 20th February, 2005. We
have selected a set of international standards for fair and free referenda defined
by well-respected academic institutions and used in the monitoring of previous
referenda in Europe. This set of criteria will allow us to measure how fair and
free was the referendum process for ratification of the EU Constitution, and to
identify the weak points of the process. Those points will help us to identify the
necessary reforms that should be made to ensure that future referendums held
in Spain satisfy the commonly accepted international standards.
