2023 Australian Indigenous Voice referendum
The 2023 Australian Indigenous Voice referendum was held on Saturday, 14 October 2023. Voters were asked whether or not the Australian Constitution should be changed so that a body called the Indigenous Voice to Parliament can be created and so that Indigenous Australians (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people) are recognised in the Constitution. This is something that has been called for in the Uluru Statement from the Heart, which was published in 2017. The referendum was defeated in all six states and the Northern Territory.
