Australians will vote on October 14 on whether Australia should include a permanent body of First Nations people to advise the government on matters affecting them.
The 1967 Referendum , to count Australia 's Indigenous people, was held in 1967 .
Thousands of people gathered for “ Walk for Yes ” rallies in multiple cities around Australia ahead of the vote.
But polls suggest the split between supporters and opponents is widening, in favor of no change to the constitution.
As of Sunday , more than 96,000 registered voters were outside Australia including those living abroad.
More than 100 polling centers will be open worldwide to enable people to vote in person, or return a postal ballot.
To pass, the referendum needs the majority vote across the country, as well as the majority of people in at least four states.
