A referendum result refers to the outcome or decision reached by a majority of voters in a direct vote, usually held to determine public support for a particular issue or proposal. It is a process that allows people to make their voices heard on important matters of public interest and can be used to gauge public opinion on various topics such as changes to government policies, constitutional reforms, or even the decision to leave a political union. The result of a referendum is usually binding, meaning that it will be implemented by the governing body regardless of whether it aligns with their personal views or not.
