Vote to ratify 62RZ26, "Democracy Act and Amendment", providing for the following:
The lowering of the number of seats in the Cosă from 200 to 20, already established in statutory law by 62RZ11 - the "Pseudo-Real Cosă Act", is enshrined in the Organic Law. The change would only take effect from the first general election after February 2027, one year after the passage of 62RZ11.
The seats won by each party, as well as any vacant seats occurring between elections, are (re)assigned to candidates automatically following the order they appear on the ballot, instead of the party leader freely apportioning seats won by the party between candidates. Seats that cannot be (re)assigned, typically due to each valid candidate already holding the maximum number of seats, would be (re)assigned by the King under His best judgement, or left vacant.
The share of the Cosă's seats that can be held by a single member is raised from 2 seats to 3 in the future 20-seat Cosă, and from 20 seats to 31 in the current 200-seat Cosă (still valid for this election). The calculation assumes that the number of votes cast for valid political parties is the same as in the previous election (94); the formula means the individual limit is raised with fewer votes, and lowered with more votes.
Any person placed on a party's list of candidates to the Cosă will have to confirm their willingness to stand for election, rather than this willingness being implicit, as is currently the case.
A provision to allow the assignment of a limited number of extra seats in the Cosă to new citizens between general elections is repealed, if and only if the concurring amendment that provides for these seats to be reduced in number (C2 - Referendum on 62RZ14) fails.
A provision to impeach and a remove a member of the Cosă by a two-third majority and approval by the King, which already exists, is clarified.
Political parties's internal processes for nominating candidates for the Cosă will have to allow and reflect the democratic input of its members, with the latter being able to file suit if this is not the case.

| URL | Üc / Yes | Vote PER. This major democratic reform strengthens requirements for parties' electoral lists, making sure voters know who they are choosing to represent them in the Cosa. The URL supports measures like this one to increase the legislature's accountability to voters instead of party bosses. |
| PROG | Üc / Yes | This bill was crafted together by the Progressive Alliance. It will allow for Organic requirements for Cosa party lists without penalizing parties for being too small or too successful with voters. It removes power from party bosses and closer to the people, where it belongs. |
