## Resource

The first election for South Australia’s First Nations Voice to Parliament was a chaotic flop, with less than 10% turnout as many voters didn’t even know it was happening. Internal docs blame a government agency for failing to advertise properly, leaving people confused about when, where, and who was running. After feedback, organizers learned key issues: no clear signage, no staff at polling places, and missed outreach—especially in APY Lands where TAFE SA failed to distribute materials. Turnout barely improved to under 11% in the second election, but officials say it’s a learning curve. A new review is underway as the Voice seeks to build trust and engagement.
