Constitutional referendum
A constitutional referendum is a process where citizens vote directly on proposed changes to their country's constitution. This type of referendum is often used to gauge public support for significant legal reforms, such as changes in government structure, rights, or freedoms. By holding a referendum, lawmakers enable the electorate to have a direct say in important national matters, ensuring that the decision reflects the will of the people. The outcome is typically binding, meaning the proposed changes will be implemented if they receive enough support from voters.
