devolution referendum

A devolution referendum is a vote in which the public decides whether to grant more powers to a regional government or local authority, allowing them to govern certain areas more independently from a central government. This process can involve transferring responsibilities for areas like health, education, or transportation. Typically, such referendums are held in regions that seek greater self-governance, and the outcome can lead to the establishment of a devolved government with varying levels of legislative authority, depending on the result of the vote and the framework established.
