If a petition submits an integrated set of amendments, such as the example included in Question 52, may the council split the proposals and call for a referendum on each separate part of the set of amendments?
No. G.S. 160A-104 specifies that the referendum is to be "on the question of adopting the charter amendments proposed" in the petition, and the italicized language indicates that the ballot shall include only a single question.
