Voice Referendum 2023 Democracy Education Session
“Your session was informative. I also appreciated your communication style. I certainly feel better informed.”
Australian citizens will be voting in a national referendum before the end of this year. For some voters, this will be their first referendum. How do you vote in a referendum? What is this referendum about? What will change if this referendum is successful?
Democracy Matters is offering non-partisan information sessions to community groups. The session aim is for voters to be well informed before they vote. Sessions are 60 minutes long and are free.
Sessions are led by Sandy Killick, Lead Educator with Democracy Matters.
