The phrase “the referendum vote” can refer to many different events, and several major referendums are scheduled around early 2026 in different countries. Without more context (country, topic, or what you’re seeing in the news), there is no single correct date.

Here are a few prominent 2026 referendum dates people might mean when they ask this:

  • Thailand: A constitutional referendum held together with the general election on 8 February 2026.
  • Bangladesh: A constitutional referendum scheduled for 12 February 2026, alongside the general election.
  • Italy: A constitutional “confirmatory” referendum on justice reform set for 22–23 March 2026.

If you tell me:

  • which country you’re in, or
  • what the referendum is about (e.g., constitution, justice reform, independence, local tax, etc.),

I can narrow it down and give you the exact date and context that apply to you.
