Background
Require 10 million verified signatures within three months to trigger an early election, preventing frivolous attempts whilst addressing genuine national discontent.
Have a six-month gap between petitions to maintain stability. This balances democratic accountability with governmental continuity, ensuring leaders serve the people or face electoral consequences.
