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

That was very useful, thanks. Seems there will be a similar selection to last year's federal election. I also didn't know early voting was this accessible, might just do that if I have the time.

Yep, there's eligibility requirements, but in practice that means just lie about a reasonable one for you.
