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 🫡

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.

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).

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.

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!
