The referendum question refers to the question that voters will be asked to vote "yes" or "no" on during a referendum. In the case of the 2023 Australian referendum, the question will be "A Proposed Law: to alter the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice". This question is related to the Australian governments commitment to implement the Uluru Statement from the Heart, which aims to give Indigenous Australians a greater say on policies that affect their lives. A referendum is a public question placed on a ballot by a local unit, and voters are asked to make a "yes" or "no" decision on a proposal, question, or idea.
