What is a referendum?

A direct vote to elect officials
A direct vote in which electorates vote on a proposal
A meeting of the constitutional convention
An initiative to remove a public servant from office

The correct answer is: A direct vote in which electorates vote on a proposal

A referendum is a direct vote in which electorates vote on a proposal. This means that the general public has the opportunity to vote on a specific proposal or issue, rather than voting for elected officials. This distinguishes it from option A, which is about electing officials. Option C refers to a specific meeting rather than a type of voting process. Option D is incorrect because a referendum is not specifically focused on removing a public servant from office, but rather gaining input from the public on a proposal or issue.
