The majority required to win a referendum typically depends on the specific rules established for that referendum, which can vary by jurisdiction. In most cases, a simple majority (more than 50% of the votes cast) is sufficient for a measure to pass. However, some referendums may require a supermajority, such as two-thirds or three-fifths of the votes, particularly for significant constitutional changes. It's important to check the specific regulations governing each referendum to determine the exact majority needed.

How is people power involved in the 1967 referendum?

A referendum occurs when the Government puts forward a motion to the Australian public regarding possible changes to the Constitution. Essentially, to change the constitution, a double majority result is needed to invoke such a change. This means that majority of people in the majority of states must approve of the change. Essentially people power is involved in this due to the majority of people saying that they wanted the change. Their legal and constitutional right to vote gave them the opportunity to do this.
