  • Summary

  • A referendum will be held in Australia this year, and voters will be asked if the Constitution should be altered to recognise the First Peoples of Australia, by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice, but with this being our first referendum in over 20 years, many people may have no experience with the process.  

    This podcast from the Australian Electoral Commission, is here to help you get referendum ready, and answer questions like, what’s the difference between a referendum and an election?   Or, what’s the role of the Australian Electoral Commission in a referendum? 

    Tune in, as we speak with those in the know from the AEC, to help get you vote-ready for the referendum.
