FIL: Isang direktang pagboto ng buong elektoral sa isang partikular na panukalang-batas o isyung pampulitika na inihain para sa kanilang pagpapasya.
EN: referendum
When the politicians can't decide (or don't want to), they pass the decision to the people. It's like a national group project where everyone has to vote 'Yes' or 'No'. "Should we change the constitution? Let's have a **reperendum**!" It's democracy, but with extra steps and lots of campaign ads.
From Latin 'referendum', via Spanish 'referéndum' or English 'referendum'.
Used in the context of politics, law, and governance. Often used interchangeably with 'plebisito' (plebiscite), though they have technical differences in law.
