Taiwan held its first nationwide referendum on March 2004. A referendum is often seen as the purest form of democracy: a question is presented to the public, to which the answer is simply yes or no.
Many democratic countries, including the United States, have two types of referendum: popular and legislative. A popular referendum comes from the people. When people are unhappy with a certain law that is passed by lawmakers, they can sign a petition, and the law is then rejected or accepted, depending on the number of signatures. A legislative referendum─the kind that was held here─comes from the government. The government holds a vote on a specific issue, giving the people a chance to decide what will happen.
Several nations use national referendums. In Europe, for example, residents of certain countries were asked whether they wished to join the European Union and use the euro, a common currency. In 1999, Australia held a referendum to decide whether the nation should remove Queen Elizabeth II as head of state and become a republic. The majority of voters said no, and the Queen stayed.

2004年三月，台灣舉辦了第一次的全民公投。公投通常以民主最單純的形式呈現：對社會大眾提出一個問題，通常答案是肯定或是否定擇一的是非題。

在許多民主國家，包括美國，公投分為兩類：人民公投以及民意代表公投，人民公投是由人民發起，當人民對某個立法委員通過的法律感到不滿時，他們可以進行連署，於是依據連署的簽名數量，可決定此法條遭到否決或是接受。而民意代表公投，如同這裡所舉行的，是由政府發起。政府為某些特定的議題舉辦投票，讓人民有機會用表決的方式決定國家的未來。

有些國家舉辦國家公投。例如歐洲，有些國家讓他們的居民投票表決是否加入歐盟，以及使用歐元為通用貨幣。西元一九九九年，澳洲舉辦了公投，為決定是否要撤除伊莉莎白女王的領導權，讓澳洲成為共和國。而大多數人投了反對票，於是伊莉莎白女王保住了王位。
