Once your nation has passed the legislation regarding an issue, it is done. Since issues do repeat, you can make a different choice next time though.

For as long as the issue remains 'pending', you can alter your choice.

All of the issues can eventually be repeated (although some choices, like banning elections, can make it so you won't get the issue untill you undo them in another issue).

Your decisions on past issues are not recorded. When you make a decision, your nations stats are changed based on that decision and the game forgets what your choice was. When issues start repeating, if you choose the same option the stats will move even farther in the direction that choice pushes them. If you choose a different option, then your stats will change according to that option.

(note: With a new proccess called "issue treeing" the choices on past issues can be directly recorded, but I don't think any issues in the game actually use this yet)

I can't remember where, but the fact that this wasn't used on NS was confirmed somewhere in moderation not more than 2 weeks ago.
