Tomorrow, Tuesday, October 3, will be a day with special priority. Uppermost in my mind will be the pre-poll voting, now open in the lead-up to a vote on changing the Australian Constitution. Official voting day is Saturday, October 14.

I always vote during the pre-polling period because that avoids the need for stressing and joining the throng at the polling centre on the designated voting day.

A change in the Australian Constitution will require a majority of voters to agree on the change. As well voters in a majority of states must vote for the change.

No one knows what the referendum outcome will be But this time tomorrow, I will know how I have voted.
