The question in the 2023 Australian referendum was whether to alter the Constitution to recognize the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. The Parliament of Australia agreed to propose adding a new chapter, Chapter IX-Recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples to the Constitution, which would include a new section 129. The proposed amendment was introduced into Parliament through a Constitution Alteration Bill on March 30, 2023, and the Parliament passed the Constitution Alteration Bill on June 19, 2023. The question on the ballot paper was: "A Proposed Law: to alter the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. Do you approve this proposed alteration?".
