Propaganda was used in Australia during World War I to sway public opinion towards conscription. It involved exaggerating the threat to Australia, questioning the loyalty of those who opposed conscription, and portraying conscription as necessary for the survival of the nation.

In the United States alone, there have been thousands of state and local referendums since the 19th century.

Notable examples include Switzerland, where referendums are a common practice at both the national and cantonal levels, and Italy, which frequently holds referendums on constitutional and legislative matters.

Additionally, some nations, like the United Kingdom, have used referendums for significant decisions, such as Brexit.
