A big shout-out to the folks on the bbq at Singleton Primary, who are flying the flag for Secret Harbour by-election fundraising today. If you’ve spotted a democracy sausage or cake stall at another booth, let us know!

It’s by-election season, with Kiama this weekend, and Secret Harbour on the 29th! We’ve got both on the map to help you find a rare by-sausage…if it exists. If you’re looking to switch between the two elections, just hit the ‘2’ button in the top right.

Polls are open, South Australia! Remember: you can only vote once, but you can legally visit every sausage sizzle and cake stall in the State. Good luck to all the volunteers raising funds for their communities today. 💜 #democracysausage #SAvotes2026

Happy election eve, South Australia! We know what's on offer at nearly 1/3 of polling places, but that still leaves many mysteries to solve. If you visit a booth with a grey '?' on the democracysausage.org map, click on it to send a tip-off. Does it have bbq, cake, or nothing at all?

Thanks to all of our sausage tipsters, and a cheer for the Tasmanian volunteers braving today's weather to fundraise. As polls close we've got a sausage status for 36% of booths - a State record! #democracysausage

Happy election eve, Tasmania! We've got info on what's on offer at 21% of polling places, but a lot of mysteries to solve. If you're at a booth that still has a grey question mark on our map, click on it to send a tip-off. Let us know what you spot: bbq, cake stall, or even nothing at all!

And so the 2025 Federal Election democracy sausage coverage comes to a close! Various records smashed, many sausages eaten but none of it possible without contributions from a range of people. Pictured is our tired but happy democracy sausage team.

Four people sit at a table, computers in front of them. They are all looking tired.

Australia-wide, there were 2,659 sites with #DemocracySausage and 1,536 with #DemocracyCake available. As expected, the more populous states had a higher count of sausage and cake.

Democracy Sausage is entirely unpaid and unsponsored... but we do occasionally get fun things in the mail.

A shout-out to the folks on the bbq at Cable Beach Primary School in Broome - they currently hold the ‘sausage sizzle furthest away from any other sizzle’ title! If you’re in the area, drop in for a democracy sausage or a bacon & egg roll. #democracysausage #wavotes
