TL;DR Summary

Australians are expected to reject a proposal to constitutionally recognize the country's Indigenous people in a referendum, according to the final YouGov poll. The referendum asks Australians to vote 'Yes' or 'No' on altering the constitution to recognize Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and establish a body called the Voice to Parliament. The poll shows that opponents lead the 'Yes' camp by 56% to 38%, with 6% undecided. Supporters argue that the Voice will bring progress for Indigenous Australians, while opponents view it as tokenism and divisive.
