Base the constituent process on a single-measure presidential campaign followed by a referendum law defining resources, timetable and independence from the president.
Démocratie Ouverte white paper (outside authors), presented by his campaign as its detailed programme; not a final version
-
Propose an adaptable 18–24 month schedule: initial referendum alongside the first legislative round in June/July 2027, bodies and selection in summer 2027, public debate then assembly through summer/autumn 2028, a 2–4 month campaign, final referendum December 2028, envisaged new regime 1 January 2029 and electoral transition during 2029. Dates are expressly illustrative.

-
Hold two separate simultaneous referendums: willingness to end the Fifth Republic and approval of the drafting/adoption procedure; the constituent debate begins if both answers are yes.
Démocratie Ouverte white paper (outside authors), presented by his campaign as its detailed programme; not a final version
-
The initial law would establish steering/guarantor bodies, independent funding and administration, empower the assembly to call its final referendum, and set rejection procedures.
Démocratie Ouverte white paper (outside authors), presented by his campaign as its detailed programme; not a final version
-
Introduce a constitutional citizen-initiated referendum triggered by one million signatures for future amendment, including if the constituent process fails.
Démocratie Ouverte white paper (outside authors), presented by his campaign as its detailed programme; not a final version
-
First proposed legal route: Article 89, identical text approved by both chambers followed by referendum; also amend Articles 11/89 and retain the amended Constitution during transition. Authors identify parliamentary blockage risk and favour this route under broad consensus.
Démocratie Ouverte white paper (outside authors), presented by his campaign as its detailed programme; not a final version
-
Second proposed route: direct referendum under Article 11; the document acknowledges constitutional controversy, possible Constitutional Council blockage and legitimacy risks if the president proceeds despite it.
Démocratie Ouverte white paper (outside authors), presented by his campaign as its detailed programme; not a final version
-
Third, expressly riskier option: regime change grounded in electoral/referendum legitimacy rather than compliance with the Fifth Republic framework, with transitional constitutional rules; authors warn of possible institutional crisis and call no route obvious.
Démocratie Ouverte white paper (outside authors), presented by his campaign as its detailed programme; not a final version

Experts without manifest current/past partisan commitment, paid full-time, with two facilitators and possible unpaid advisers; dissolve upon adoption of the new regime.
Démocratie Ouverte white paper (outside authors), presented by his campaign as its detailed programme; not a final version
