Intro to American Politics
A referendum is a direct vote in which an entire electorate is invited to vote on a particular proposal and can result in the adoption of a new law or policy. This process allows citizens to directly influence legislation or constitutional amendments, often reflecting a democratic form of decision-making. Referendums can empower voters and enhance political participation by providing a platform for public opinion on significant issues.
