Questione giuridica chiave
Whether a legislative counterproposal may be submitted to a constitutional popular initiative in Ticino.
Decisione estratta
Yes. Cantonal law does not exclude a counterproposal of different rank; what matters is the subject matter and a free, informed popular choice.
Motivazione estratta
The court relied on its prior case law and doctrinal support to hold that the parliament is not bound by the rank of the initiative. The counterproposal offered an alternative legislative solution without misleading the electorate.
