Record number of Australians enroll to vote in referendum on Indigenous Voice to Parliament

A record number of Australians have enrolled to vote in a referendum that aims to create an Indigenous advocacy body, with 97.7% of eligible Australians signing up to vote, the largest proportion in the country's history.
The referendum, which will be held on October 14, seeks to establish an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, consisting of Indigenous representatives who would advise the government on policies affecting the nation's most disadvantaged ethnic minority.
Online disinformation and threats have posed a concern for election officials, who are working to counter the spread of false information.
