The cost of the Voice referendum revealed (and clarification on the rules of Voice advertising)

The cost of the Voice to Parliament referendum has been confirmed by AEC spokesperson Evan Ekin-Smyth after Tom Elliott saw a figure in the newspaper yesterday!

Mr Ekin-Smyth said there’s a “little bit of a difference” between the cost of a federal election and this referendum.

He also clarified the rules surrounding blackouts of Voice advertising, after Tom Elliott was alerted to an email of a person witnessing a ‘Yes’ ad on TV just 72 hours before the day to vote.
