how can they decide that, other than a referendum freely voted upon in a free and fair election

a decision of that nature is not spontaneous and does not always take the form of a referendum/election. If they want it, they :

1. Take steps to overthrow the current regime.
2. Endure a period of chaos.
3. (Hopefully) find a popular way to get a different kind of government.
