Referendum Act (various countries)

A Referendum Act is a law that allows citizens to vote directly on specific issues, rather than through their elected representatives. Different countries have their own versions of this act, which outline how referendums are conducted, the subjects that can be voted on, and the required majority for a decision to pass. Referendums are often used for important issues like constitutional changes or significant policy shifts, enabling people to express their preferences on matters that affect their lives. The act ensures transparency, fairness, and clarity in the voting process.
