Bemerkungen	Obligatorisches Verfassungsreferendum nach Art. 47 der Verfassung. Zusammen mit den Präsidentenwahlen abgehalten. Zusammenfassung für die Stimmenden: "The Third Amendment of the Constitution Bill, 1958 At present, members of Dáil Éireann are elected on a system of proportional representation for constituencies returning at least three members, each voter having a single transferable vote. It is proposed in the Bill to abolish the system of proportional representation and to adopt, instead, a system of single-member constituencies, each voter having a single non-transferable vote. It is also proposed in the Bill to set up a Commission for the determination and revision of the constituencies, instead of having this done by the Oireachtas, as at present."
