There is no single official percentage of Indigenous Australians who voted “No” in the 2023 Voice referendum, because the Australian Electoral Commission does not release referendum results broken down by race or Indigenous status. However, available data strongly indicates that the vast majority of Indigenous voters supported the “Yes” case , meaning the “No” vote among Indigenous people was a minority.

Key findings from the data:

Evidence Source| Finding
---|---
Areas with high Indigenous populations 3| Yarrabah (96% Indigenous): 76% voted Yes → ~24% No 3
| Domadgee (largely Indigenous): 66% voted Yes → ~34% No 3
| Fitzroy Crossing (80% Indigenous): 60% voted Yes → ~40% No 3
| Halls Creek (70% Indigenous): 52% voted Yes → ~48% No 3
| Wadeye (86% Indigenous): 92% voted Yes → ~8% No 3
Remote mobile polling booths 37| 21 of 22 remote booths (overwhelmingly Indigenous) voted Yes by 73–27 margin 37
University of Melbourne study 7| “Indigenous Australians supported Voice referendum by large margins ” 7

Summary estimate:

Based on communities with high Indigenous populations voting 60–92% Yes , the Indigenous “No” vote was likely between 8–40% in those areas, with most estimates suggesting around 20–30% of Indigenous voters cast a“No”ballot , while 70–80% voted Yes.

The overall national result was 60.06% No and 39.94% Yes , but this reflects the broader Australian electorate, not Indigenous voters specifically.

“Electoral data has revealed that areas with a large proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents voted yes.”
