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.

Over the years, various referendums have been held to address issues like constitutional recognition of Indigenous Australians and other reforms.
