Referendum Canceller
The origin used to cancel a referendum without treating it as normally rejected.
In plain language
A cancellation stops the targeted referendum before its proposed call executes.
Why it matters
Cancellation is a distinct governance outcome and may be used to correct a wrong track or bad proposal.
