afkeuren

Afkeuren is a Dutch term that translates to "reject" or "refuse" in English. It is commonly used in the context of voting, where it refers to the act of voting against a proposal or candidate. In a parliamentary system, afkeuren can be used to vote against a bill or motion, effectively blocking its passage. The term is also used in the context of referendums, where voters can afkeuren a proposed law or policy. The process of afkeuren is an important aspect of democratic decision-making, as it allows citizens to express their opposition to certain proposals. The term is not limited to political contexts; it can also be used in other situations where a decision is made by a group, such as in a company or organization.
