Preferred term

referenda  

Definition

  • A referendum is a device of direct democracy by which the people are asked to vote directly on an issue or policy. It differs from an election, which is a vote to elect persons who will make decisions on behalf of the people, or a recall, by which citizens are given the opportunity to remove from office an elected representative. [Source: International Encyclopedia of Political Science; Referenda]
