The referendum result refers to the outcome of the Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum in Australia, which was held on October 14, 2023. The referendum proposed to recognize Indigenous people in the constitution and establish a federal advisory board to parliament including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People. The referendum failed to pass, with most of the countrys registered voters writing "No" on their ballots. The official result is still days away from being announced by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC), but a No vote across the country means the required double majority for the referendum to succeed looks an electoral impossibility. The defeat of the referendum is a major setback to the countrys reconciliation efforts. However, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said that the defeat of the referendum "is not the end of the road" for attempts to address the disadvantages facing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
