I will point out that that is in stark contrast to the AEC, where 16-year-olds and 17-year-olds can preregister. Does the ABS intend to include a personal identifier on people's marriage equality postal ballots? Will the ballots include a number to identify their name and address? If so, how can people trust that an individuals' views will not be matched to their census data, which would spoil the secret vote? If not, how is the government going to assure people that the poll will not be vulnerable to fraud? (Time expired)
