Practice question
A sufficient initiative petition is certified by COMELEC. Its plebiscite is set forty days after certification. Assuming all other requirements, is the schedule constitutionally proper?
- Yes, because every date within one year is valid.
- Yes, because certification immediately makes the change effective.
- No, because a plebiscite must always occur exactly ninety days later.
- No, because Article XVII requires the plebiscite not earlier than sixty days after certification.
- No, because initiative amendments cannot be ratified.
