2010–2013 Icelandic constitutional reform

The people's constitution that parliament never passed. In November 2010, Iceland convened a National Forum of 950 randomly selected citizens to set out what a new constitution should hold. An elected Constitutional Assembly was meant to draft it, but the Supreme Court annulled that election in January 2011, and parliament appointed most of the winners to a Constitutional Council instead. In October 2012, 67 percent of voters approved using the council's text as the basis for a new constitution. The bill then failed to reach a vote before the 2013 election, partly because of opposition filibustering. Only the 2010 forum used random selection; the drafters were elected.
