A twelve-part abrogative referendum was held in Italy on 11 June 1995.[1] Voters were asked whether they approved of the repealing (or partial repealing) of laws on union representation, union dues, collective contracts for public sector workers, internal exile for mafia members, public ownership of RAI, concessions for television channels, advertising breaks during films, television publicity, commercial licensing, local council elections and shopping hours.[2] Only five of the twelve proposals were passed.[2]
