What is a referendum?

A referendum is a special kind of voting, in which voters respond to one idea. Depending on the type of referendum, the government will change the law based on the results.

One recent example of a referendum is “Brexit”, when the United Kingdom (England) decided to leave the European Union.

The Cobham Juicie Referendum will ask voters (you) to decide which option is best, and then Mr Norgate will back the new rule for the rest of 2023. You will vote via online ballot on Thursday, 26 October, and the new rule will start on Monday 30 October.

The voting options are:

Kei Campaign (Yellow)
