A popular referendum is a process where citizens can vote directly on a specific issue or law, bypassing the usual legislative procedures. It allows the public to have a say on important decisions, often resulting in a more direct form of democracy.
A referendum is when an entire electorate, or even state or country, is asked to vote on whether to accept or reject a particular proposal. For example, prior to Federation, Western Australia held a referendum on whether or not the state would become part of the federation, as the leaders were not convinced it would be in western Australia's best interests to join. In the same way, Queensland does not have Daylight Saving during Summer because a 1992 referendum on the issue showed that the majority of Queenslanders were against it.

Referendum
A referendum is a vote
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.
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.
