Research output: Book/Research ReportResearch report

Abstract

Western Sydney was once again positioned as a key 'electoral battleground' in the 2023 Voice Referendum – with voter behaviour in the western suburbs of Sydney projected to be critical to the outcome. The referendum was always going to be challenging in a region like Western Sydney, where trust in government has been profoundly compromised in recent years. However, the region is diverse and complex, and so is voting behaviour. This paper examines Australian Electoral Commission Tally Room data (as at 2PM Sunday 15 October 2023) and presents a geographical mapping and key analysis of the votes in the Voice referendum.
