A 2011 constitution drafted by an elected Constitutional Council with online public input; endorsed in an advisory referendum but not adopted by parliament.
Following the 2008 financial crisis, Iceland held a national forum and elected a 25-member council that published drafts online for comment. In 2012 about two-thirds of voters supported the draft as the basis of a new constitution, but the Althing did not enact it.
Strong public input and referendum support did not overcome the need for parliamentary adoption.
A 25-member Constitutional Council drafted a new Icelandic constitution in 2011 using online public input; about two-thirds of voters in a 2012 advisory referendum supported it as a basis, but the Althing did not adopt it.[1]
