The 2023 referendum, held on October 14, was about recognizing Indigenous people in the Australian Constitution and creating an Indigenous body called the Voice to Parliament that could provide advice to the government on Indigenous issues. The referendum failed to get either of the two majorities in favor that were both required for the Constitution to be changed. The results outlined by the Australian Electoral Commission show that "no" was the majority response to the referendum question nationally and in all six states. The referendum also failed to receive a majority of votes across the country, falling short with a projected percentage of 55% . The only territory to return a majority "Yes" vote was the Australian Capital Territory. The defeat of the referendum means that a federal advisory board to parliament including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People will not be enshrined in the constitution. While electorate-by-electorate results play no part in a referendum, the results can reveal interesting geographic trends. For example, the eastern suburbs and inner west in Sydney recorded a majority "Yes" vote, compared with a majority "No" vote in the western suburbs. Similarly, in Melbourne, inner urban electorates were more likely to vote in favor of the Indigenous voice.
