A double abrogative referendum was held in Italy on 15 May 2003.[1] Voters were asked whether small companies should be forced to re-employ workers they had sacked illegitimately and whether the property owners could refuse to allow electricity cables to be installed on private property.[2] Although both were approved by wide margins, the voter turnout of 26% was well below the 50% threshold and the results were invalidated.[2]
