How people voted
Early votes are counted later than election-day votes, so on the night the count can lean towards one kind of vote. The VEC's 2026 estimates show how the mix may shift.
| Vote type | 2022 votes | Share | 2026 VEC estimate | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Election day | 14,870 | 33.4% | 20,048 | |
| Early | 22,626 | 50.8% | 23,348 | |
| Absent | 2,260 | 5.1% | 4,165 | |
| Postal | 4,565 | 10.2% | — | |
| Provisional | 209 | 0.5% | — | |
| Other | 9 | 0.0% | — | |
| Total | 44,539 | 100% | — |
The VEC publishes 2026 estimates for election-day, early and absent votes only, so there is no 2026 total to compare.
Election-day voting centres
Each 2026 voting centre is compared with a 2022 booth. * marks the 7 where that isn't the same building: the venue moved, merged with another, or is compared with the closest 2022 booth, as shown. These comparisons are approximate. Joint venues also take votes for neighbouring districts.
