Referendums have been held in Australia to approve parliament-proposed changes to the Constitution of Australia or to the constitutions of states and territories. Polls conducted on non-constitutional issues are sometimes but not always referred to as plebiscites. Not all federal referendums have been on constitutional matters (such as the 1916 Australian conscription referendum), and state votes that likewise do not affect the constitution are frequently said to be referendums (such as the 2009 Western Australian daylight saving referendum). Historically, they are used by Australians interchangeably and a plebiscite was considered another name for a referendum.

  • Referendums have been held in Australia to approve parliament-proposed changes to the Constitution of Australia or to the constitutions of states and territories. Polls conducted on non-constitutional issues are sometimes but not always referred to as plebiscites. Not all federal referendums have been on constitutional matters (such as the 1916 Australian conscription referendum), and state votes that likewise do not affect the constitution are frequently said to be referendums (such as the 2009 Western Australian daylight saving referendum). Historically, they are used by Australians interchangeably and a plebiscite was considered another name for a referendum. Voting in a referendum is compulsory for those on the electoral roll, in the same way that it is compulsory to vote in a general election. As of 2020, 44 nationwide referendums have been held, only eight of which have been carried. However, there have only been 19 times the Australian people have gone to the polls to vote on constitutional amendments, as it is common to have multiple questions on the ballot. There have also been three nationwide plebiscites (two on conscription and one on the national song), and one postal survey (on same-sex marriage). (en)
  • Referenda w Australii są przeprowadzane na szczeblu federalnym (ogólnokrajowym) wyłącznie w celu poddania pod głosowanie propozycji zmian w konstytucji Australii. Jedynie trzykrotnie (w latach 1916, 1917 i 1977) pod głosowanie poddano pytania nie dotyczące zmian konstytucyjnych, jednak głosowania te formalnie nazywane były plebiscytami, a nie referendami. O ile wynik referendum jest wiążący dla organów władzy państwowej, o tyle plebiscyty są formalnie głosem doradczym, jednak zwykle ich wynik również jest respektowany ze względów politycznych. (pl)
