We are now 100 days away from polling day and the campaign begins! Today the VOTE YES Volunteers Register was launched to enable republicans around Australia (and even Australians overseas!) to become part of our grass-roots campaign to secure the YES vote at the republic referendum in November. Volunteers can choose their own level of involvement and play a direct role in this exciting and historic campaign! Why not be a part of history and sign up today? We look forward to seeing you!
