referendums is the preferred pluralisation
As the Latin word has no plural as it is a gerundive, like 'addendum'.

According to one source anyway. The Guardian's house style guide is also on the side of 'referendums'.

I like to refer to more than one haggis as 'haggises'
When it comes to plural forms I am very much a traditionalist.

And yes, both are acceptable, but one is preferred. You know, like bisexuals in theory like both genders, but they always prefer one over the other. Am I right? Fuck knows, I haven't had sex with guys since the nineties.
