The Australian Constitution can be amended only with the approval of Australian electors. Therefore, any proposed alteration must be put to the vote of all electors at a referendum. • • Section 128 of the Constitution provides that any proposed law to alter the Constitution must be passed by an absolute majority in both Houses of the Commonwealth Parliament. If passed by both Houses, it is submitted to a referendum at least two months, but less than six months, after it has been passed by Parliament. In certain circumstances, a proposed amendment can be submitted to a referendum if it is passed on two separate occasions by only one House of the Parliament. • • At the referendum the proposed alteration must be approved by a 'double majority'. That is: • • a national majority of electors in the states and territories • a majority of electors in a majority of the states (i.e. at least four out of six states). • Since Federation, only eight out of 44 proposals to amend the Constitution have been approved (see Referendum dates and results). • • Voting in referendums is compulsory for enrolled electors. In referendums voters have to write either 'Yes' or 'No' in the box opposite each question on the ballot paper. • • Rules governing referendums are contained in the Referendum (Machinery Provisions) Act 1984. • • For more information: http://www.aec.gov.au/elections/refer...
