After getting the required amount of signatures, you can’t submit a petition directly to the National Assembly by yourself; you must submit it through a legislator.
The process involves presenting the petition to your local legislator, who will then present it to the House or Senate.
It will then be referred to the Committee on Public Petitions for review and further action.
Step 1: Write a clear petition
Clearly state the issue, why it’s important, who it affects, and the specific change you are asking for.
Research the topic thoroughly and include supporting references.
Translate the petition into English if necessary, and ensure it is clear, concise, and has minimal mistakes.
Step 2: Find a legislator to present it
Contact your local legislator or any other member of the House of Representatives or Senate you choose.
Give them the petition to present to the presiding officer of the National Assembly.
Step 3: The petition’s journey
The legislator presents the petition on the floor of the Senate/House.
The petition is referred to the Committee on Public Petitions without debate.
The committee will register, assign a number, and issue hearing notices to involved parties.
A report is prepared after the investigative hearing and presented to the House.
The House may adopt, modify, or refuse the committee’s recommendation, which becomes a resolution.
