B.1(f). Prohibition on Government Interference and Obstruction
No branch or official of government may obstruct, delay, interfere with, or refuse to administer the referendum or processes described in this Section. Any such act constitutes a breach of this Charter and may be challenged by any Citizen, including under Civic Standing as defined in Article IV.
This subclause is necessary. It prevents all or part of the government, which might have an interest in preserving the status quo, from meddling in the sovereign affairs of the citizens. Anyone who tries is explicitly risking a challenge in the courts.
