About the episode

To kick off the series, Kerry meets Alex and Meg from the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC), who will be taking you on your referendum journey. They dive into why Australia holds referendums and why we're so lucky to have them. Plus, they explore the differences between a referendum, an election and a postal vote survey like the 2017 Marriage Law Postal Survey. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
