We're not the only ones with an election tomorrow. 

Australians will vote in their first referendum in more than 20 years. 

If successful, it will change Australia's constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing a body called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.

He said that the prominent indigenous leader Noel Pearson has made a last-minute appeal to voters, but it’s likely to fall on deaf ears.
