Abstract
⺠We give representations for the probability of the referendum paradox when the number of districts N is small. ⺠We propose a method to compute exactly this probability when the number of voters in each district is large. ⺠Finally we show how to use the Central Limit Theorem to obtain approximated values of the probability for large N.
