The Australian Voice referendum vote was held on Saturday, October 14, 2023. This referendum asked Australians to vote on whether to change the Constitution to establish an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament. The vote was conducted similarly to a federal election with compulsory voting and polling places open from 8 am to 6 pm local time. Early voting started in early October in some states and territories. To clarify, this referendum already took place in 2023; it was not scheduled for 2025. If the question was about a coming vote in 2025 or beyond, there are no current plans for another Voice referendum in that year. The 2023 referendum did not pass, so the specific constitutional change was not made.
