The document discusses referendums and their role in democracy. It provides definitions and examples of referendums and compares them to elections. Some key points made are that referendums allow direct public votes on policy issues but governments are not strictly bound by the results, and that arguments for and against referendums include that they can increase public engagement but also polarize debates and decisions.
