During the blood hunt referendum, you can use other cards to modify the votes right? Cards such as Oxford University.
Name: Oxford University, England
[DS:C2, CE:PB]
Cardtype: Master
Clan: Brujah
Master: unique location.
During the referendum of a political action, you may tap this card and burn X pool to get X votes.4

You can gain votes from in-play cards that provide votes, yes. For example, Ventrue HQ:
Master: unique location.
During a referendum, you may tap this card to gain 3 votes.
You can't use cards that exclude themselves from being used, however, such as:

A blood hunt referendum from diablerie is not "the referendum of a political action". See also Firebrand or Genevieve .
Btw, how about Powerbase Madrid? Since it just says gain x votes during a referendum. And you can still throw a vote card and edge during a blood hunt referendum right?
Name: Powerbase: Madrid
[SW:R, BH:PM]
Cardtype: Master
Cost: 1 pool
Master: unique location.
During your untap phase, add one counter to this card from the blood bank if it has less than 4 counters. Tap to give a titled Sabbat vampire X additional votes during a referendum, where X is the number of counters on this card. Any vampire controlled by another Methuselah can take a action to burn all the counters on this card.

All of those things work, yes. Also vampire titles and some vampire special abilities will work.
The main things you can't use are:
- action modifiers from your hand
- reactions from your hand
- anything talking about "the referendum of a political action" or the referendum being "called by" someone (e.g. Xaviar basic : "If a referendum called by Xaviar is successful, he can untap at the end of the action."), because the Blood Hunt referendum is just automatically called by the game.

Have you or your fellow player looked at the section in the rulebook about the Blood Hunt?
vekn.net/rulebook
6.5.6. The Blood Hunt
As stated, vampiric society condemns the act of diablerie. The penalty for committing this act is death, and the method of justice is a blood hunt (called a "wild hunt" by some groups of vampires; the terms are interchangeable), in which the diablerist is hunted down and destroyed by others of his kind. In practice, however, this brand of justice is not always meted out fairly, depending on the connections that the diablerist has.
When a vampire commits diablerie, a referendum is automatically conducted to determine if a blood hunt will be called on the diablerist. If the referendum passes, a blood hunt is called, and the diablerist is burned. This referendum is not an action, so it cannot be blocked, and action modifiers and reaction cards cannot be played . Otherwise, this referendum is handled just like any other.
Hahaha. Sorry, thanks for the trouble. I guess i was thinking more on the line of ritual of the bitter rose and ebony fox hunts. So i guess i missed that one. Thanks.

Does above still count if the blood hunt is called by a special action, such as Bernard, the scourge's special ability, which states that he calls a blood hunt as a +1 stealth political action?

No, since no vampire commited diablerie.
There is a difference between the blood hunt induced by a diablerie, and a blood hunt referendum called by Bernard (just as there is a difference the "normal" hunt action, and a hunt action like Abactor).
