This is the best summary I could come up with:

Governor-General David Hurley has issued the writ for the Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum, setting in motion the timeline for the nationwide vote on Saturday, October 14.

A Voice to Parliament would be a permanent body representing First Nations people that would advise government on policies and laws which impact their lives.

Australians now have a week to enrol or update their details on the electoral roll in order to be able to vote, with the roll closing on Monday, September 18.

Voters can now apply for a postal vote, with postal voting applications closing on Wednesday, October 11.

Early voting centres will open at the beginning of October.

Below are the key dates confirmed by the Australian Electoral Commission.
