Explanation
A referendum is a direct voting process in which the electorate is invited to vote on a particular proposal and decide on issues such as constitutional amendments, changes in laws, or specific policies. This process ensures that decisions reflect the will of the citizens, as it requires their direct approval or disapproval. Unlike regular elections, which select representatives, referendums allow citizens to have a say on specific legislative or policy issues directly.
