referendum

Also known as plebiscite, ballot question, people's vote, ballot measure

istituto giuridico con cui si chiede all'elettorato di esprimersi con un voto diretto su particolari proposte

AI overview

A referendum is a direct vote where ordinary citizens decide on a specific proposal, law, or political issue themselves, rather than having their elected representatives make the decision for them. It matters because it can either create binding new policies that directly shape government action, or it can serve as an advisory vote that informs leaders about what the public thinks on important matters.
