referenda

A referendum is a process that allows citizens to directly vote on a specific issue or proposed law, rather than relying solely on elected representatives to make decisions. It provides an opportunity for the public to express their opinion on important questions, such as constitutional changes or policy proposals. The outcome depends on the majority vote. Referenda promote democratic participation, ensuring people have a direct say in key decisions that may affect their community or country. They are often used to gauge public support or opposition to significant changes in law or governance.
