: It may be referendum, but based on when a "plebiscito" is normally applied I have my doubts. I'd prefer the word plebiscite for this case.

ignore comment, but "plebiscite" is rarely used in the UK per se. However, see the Guardian in my last ref.

: Referedums are meant to vote specific laws. but A plebiscite is a direct vote by the people of a country or region in which they say whether they agree or disagree with a particular policy, for example whether a region should become an independent State.

public consultation
Public consultation is a process that involves the public in providing their views and feedback on a proposal to consider in the decision-making. Underpinning effective consultation are two key assumptions. Firstly, that the public are perfectly capable of making sense of complex issues.

: The term "public consultation" loses the meaning of "plebiscito". Plebiscitos are meant for voters, which must comply with specific criteria, and not for anyone who wants to be part of a public.

plebiscite
pleb·is·cite
[ˈplɛbɪsʌɪt, ˈplɛbɪsɪt]
NOUN
the direct vote of all the members of an electorate on an important public question such as a change in the constitution:
"the administration will hold a plebiscite for the approval of constitutional reforms"
Thus is the same sense we give to the word in Spanish.
The general public loses the sense that is an act of voting.
plebiscito | Definición | Diccionario de la lengua española | RAE - ASALE plebiscito Del lat. plebiscītum. 1. m. Consulta que los poderes públicos someten al voto popular directo para que apruebe o rechace una determinada propuesta sobre una cuestión política o legal.

Plebiscite is the best option by far because of the context. Referendum are meant to consult about specific laws to the voters, not a constitution like a prebiscite =)
