Editing Basic Laws of Sweden (section)

==Amendments==
Amendments of the fundamental laws must be adopted twice by the Riksdag with a [[majority|simple majority]] of the votes cast, with intervening elections. Within 15 days of an amendment's first enactment, at least one-tenth of all MPs may bring a motion for a referendum which must be supported by at least one-third of all MPs. The referendum is held simultaneously with Riksdag elections and the amendment is deemed rejected if a simple majority of voters reject it, provided the majority is a majority of all valid votes. If the people do not dismiss a change, it still has to be ratified by the newly elected Riksdag. Such a referendum has never been used.<ref name=fifteen_p808/>
