The Voting Process

The voting process for an election is common knowledge, we all know how to number the candidates and put our page in the ballot box. A referendum on the other hand hasn’t been held in Australia since 1999. It has been 24 years since we last voted to change the constitution, and for many young Australians, this process is confusing.
