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.

Nine schools & community centres will get a bonus chance to fundraise this year at WA’s Secret Harbour by-election on 29 Aug. Do you know someone planning a sizzle? Let us know so we can promote it! #democracysausage

Cheers to all those who worked the BBQ tongs today, and to everyone who sent in a tip-off! We're wrapping up #SAvotes2026 here at Democracy Sausage HQ with info about 47% of booths - including a huge 241 booths with a sausage sizzle or cake stall. #democracysausage #SAvotes2026

Hands down the best election day tradition ever! As a Canadian I am extremely jealous. We need a Canadian equivalent at our election polls immediately. Encourage people to vote, support local charities and causes, and get some food hole you wait or for after you vote. Make Democracy Tasty!

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

As usual, we’re covering the election from Perth, and are nearing the part of the afternoon where someone cracks under the pressure and pops down to the shops…

We shorten it to ‘demsausage’ around Democracy Sausage HQ but Moccy Sossy is much more Australian for sure.

Happy Election Day, Tasmania! Polls are now open. Don’t forget to support your local community fundraisers (and remember, you can get a sausage even if you’ve already voted!) #TasVotes #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!

We salute the snag sizzlers, cake bakers and other fundraisers of Tasmania - who’ve had an occasion to setup every year since 2018, except 2020 😳 #auspol

The land of cake sales and democracy sausage has an election coming up on July 19! Unlike so many children’s book illustrators, we won’t forget you Tasmania! We are waiting for the list of polling places to be published before we activate the map on our page. Watch this space! 👀

But lastly, everyone who volunteered to run sizzles, cake stalls and helped crowd ‘sauce’ our data. Thanks also to the many people who bought sausages, cakes or other election goods to support their local community. Thank you! Team #democracysausage signing out until the next election 🫡

Democracy Sausage @democracysausage.org · 03/05/2025

First of all, thanks to our event partners the AEC (without which we wouldn’t have key location data or the polling places to host #DemocracySausages). Thanks also to media agencies who helped get the word out and to our team who not only built a fantastic new site but kept the data uploads going.

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.

And finally, to wrap up the numbers, between the four Democracy Sausage team members at HQ we have eaten 7 Democracy Sausages, 1 Democracy bacon and egg roll, and 9 Democracy Cakes* *(includes honey joys).

Compared to 2022, there has been a nationwide swing to #DemocracySausage, with an increase of 5.2 percentage points in the estimated percentage of election day voters with access to #DemocracySausage. The largest swing was in NSW with a 10.5 percentage point increase.

172

Democracy Sausage @democracysausage.org · 03/05/2025

Once adjusted for the estimated percentage of election day voters, ACT was the leading state/territory, with 86.5% of voters able to access a #DemocracySausage, compared to 48.6% nationwide.

173

Democracy Sausage @democracysausage.org · 03/05/2025

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.

176

Democracy Sausage @democracysausage.org · 03/05/2025

Nationwide, we’ve had information about 3,622 polling places, representing 64.8% of today’s estimated voters (This includes sites where we heard no noms were available.)

Democracy Sausage @democracysausage.org · 03/05/2025

We also appreciate our site users! In the last 24 hours, we’ve had 2 MILLION visitors to our site, with a peak of 61,830 simultaneous users at 8pm AEST yesterday evening. Today’s peak was 55,200 users at 9:15am AEST.

Democracy Sausage @democracysausage.org · 03/05/2025

First of all, thank you all so much for sharing your sausage intel with us. Over the course of this election, we received 3,603 submissions (1,418 from stall owners and 2,185 tip-offs), which we used to populate site information - with a few more still trickling in.

Democracy Sausage @democracysausage.org · 03/05/2025

With polls coming to a close in the east, most #DemocracySausage stalls will have wrapped up for the day, so it’s time to do our Democracy Sausage count before the counting of votes begins!

No, perfectly legal. In fact, we encourage people to #DemocracySausage both before AND after (cake after for dessert also acceptable).
