This is a list of referendums in micronations. A referendum here is any public vote, free or not, on a measure or measures to be adopted by a micronational government. Where a referendum took place over multiple days, the day of voting closing is included as the date here. Referendums are distinct from elections, which are voted on similarly but which exist for the explicit purpose of appointing democratically selected individuals to public office.
