A plebiscite is a direct vote in which all the members of a community or nation are asked to either accept or reject a particular proposal, law, or constitution.
It is also known as a referendum, although plebiscite is typically used to refer to a vote on a specific issue, while a referendum can be used for a broader range of issues.
Plebiscites can be held on a local, regional, or national level, and are often used to determine public opinion on important political issues or to make decisions on matters of policy.
