Mappers of #democracysausage locations. It's practically part of the Australian Constitution. Or amending the constitution. Something like that.

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.

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.
May 3, 2025 at 8:08 AM
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.

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.

Here are your #DemocracySausage web dev and jack of all trades taking a break to vote (and eat) at the excellent Highgate Primary. Next stop, Sacred Heart!

A member of team #DemocracySausage has done an in-person inspection at their local polling place (A++, would eat again)

A huge thank you to all the hardworking volunteers who have given up time to bake and bbq for today’s events, and sorry to those who have had to cancel due to the weather. #AusVotes #DemocracySausage

We’ve mapped what’s on offer at more than 1/3 of Australia’s polling places, but we still have a whole lot of mysteries to solve. If you’re at a booth that still has a question mark on our map, send in a tip! #AusVotes #DemocracySausage

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

We’ve got info on what’s on offer at over a third of WA’s polling places, but that still leaves a lot of mysteries to solve!

If you’re at a booth with a grey question mark on democracysausage.org tomorrow, click on it to send a tip-off about what you find: bbq, cake stall, or even nothing at all!
