Referendum
One way for citizens to vote on state or local laws is through a ballot initiative or referendum process. This allows citizens to propose new laws or approve/disapprove existing laws by collecting signatures to place the issue on the ballot for a public vote. Another method is through town hall meetings or public forums where citizens can express their opinions and provide input on proposed laws before they are enacted.
A "referendum" is a direct popular vote on a proposed public measure or actual statute. In a Democracy, normally elected representatives form a legislature/government which then passes laws for the country. In a referendum it is all the citizens of the country which vote on a law rather than the legislature.
