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 | 17,092 | 41.4% | 18,111 | |
| Early | 19,920 | 48.3% | 22,157 | |
| Absent | 622 | 1.5% | 906 | |
| Postal | 3,377 | 8.2% | — | |
| Provisional | 217 | 0.5% | — | |
| Other | 8 | 0.0% | — | |
| Total | 41,236 | 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 3 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.
