Khalistan Referendum

Profile narrative

The Khalistan Referendum is an organization that conducts a vote to assess support for the creation of a separate Sikh homeland known as Khalistan. Its primary activity is organizing an electronic voting process for participants to express their position on the Khalistan question. The organization’s headquarters is located in Australia, from where it coordinates its referendum activities. It provides an online platform where eligible individuals can cast their ballots on the issue of Khalistan independence. The referendum is presented as a peaceful, democratic exercise intended to gauge public opinion on the matter.

On March 19, 2023, the Khalistan Referendum reported that its electronic voting system suffered a significant cyber attack shortly after voting commenced. The attack caused the voting platform to crash, disrupting the initial phase of the referendum process. Organizers attributed the disruption to a coordinated cyber security assault and alleged involvement of Indian government entities. The incident was covered by media outlets, including a report from Radio Pakistan dated March 19, 2023. No further details about the organization's size, structure, or additional activities are publicly available in the provided sources.
