The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament would comprise a group of Indigenous people, representing communities across Australia.

The Voice's role would be to give advice to the parliament and the government on issues affecting Indigenous people.

Voters will be asked to vote 'yes' or 'no' on a single question. The question on the ballot paper is:
