Probably you mean “before I was voting age” rather than “before I was born”. The last referendum wasn’t that long ago
I mean I too feel the 90s weren’t that long ago, but it has been long enough that I wouldn’t assume they misspoke on that one. After all someone born when that referendum happened would turn 24 this November, so there’s a good number of people old enough to vote in this referendum who weren’t around in '99.

It was nearly 24 years ago, so there's a window of 5-6 years they could have been born after following the last referendum and be eligible to vote in this one.
