With the referendum on next Saturday, we’re opening up this thread for questions about the referendum itself. As I read in an ABC article this morning no-one under 42 has ever been able to vote in a referendum and the last one was ~24 years ago.
This thread is not a place to discuss the alteration itself - that is handled by the older Voice to Parliament Referendum Megathread which will remain open until after October 14. There you will find a wide range of opinions, and do remember these are opinions and not facts.
Anyway this thread is here for anyone that’s got questions about the referendum. And by extension anyone with answers
I’ll be away from my usual residence.
I can just roll up to any polling booth and do an absentee ballot right?
Yep, the caveat is if you’re voting interstate you need to find an interstate voting centre. If you go through the aec site and hit I don’t live in X state it will show you the interstate centres.
