As generic terms "referendum" , "plebiscite" , and "ballot measure" all mean the same thing in English - a vote held to ascertain the view of the voters on an issue. Generically, it could be advisory, enact a law, or even amend a constitution. That said, it's not uncommon for a jurisdiction to use a specific term for a vote depending upon how it came to be referred to the voters and how binding it will be. However, such a definition is specific to that jurisdiction.
