{{Short description|Referendum on border location or presence}}
'''Border polls''' are referendums that are either about the exact location of a border or whether there should be a particular border at all. They are seen as both an alternative to war and a means of respecting the right to self determination for the local population, although there can sometimes be disputes regarding their fairness and whether they instead legitimise the current regime.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Will there be a border poll? - Institute of Irish Studies - University of Liverpool |url=https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/irish-studies/civic-space/pro-union/border-poll/will-there-be-a-border-poll/ |access-date=2024-01-01 |website=www.liverpool.ac.uk}}</ref>
