No (since you're assuming that the referendum was called with a
political action card).

6.3.3:
"If a political action card was used to call the referendum, that
card provides a vote for the acting vampire's controller."
and
"Each Methuselah can gain no more than one vote from political action
cards"

Correct, although the "extra" probably shouldn't be there.

No, since "this referendum is handled just like any other" (6.5.6.)

> Can you burn a political card to get a vote?

Yes, since "this referendum is handled just like any other" (6.5.6.)
