I must admit, I am completely confused with how this referendum works. I even do not understand how the media coverage works.
I know that, for it to pass, it needs a "double majority", ie. a National Majority which is a simple count of Yes / No votes nationally regardless of electorate, and a majority of states to have voted for one way or another.

So 2 questions come to mind:
1. Why is the media coverage going on and on about the results by electorate, as if it was an election? Is it not a National count?
2. With an even number of states, what would've happened if there was a tie? That's highly likely with an even number of states.

Genuinely curious about how referendums work in this country because this is actually the first time I'm participating in one.
