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 | 17,685 | 41.3% | 19,011 | |
| Early | 21,161 | 49.4% | 23,770 | |
| Absent | 1,252 | 2.9% | 1,922 | |
| Postal | 2,508 | 5.9% | — | |
| Provisional | 216 | 0.5% | — | |
| Other | 4 | 0.0% | — | |
| Total | 42,826 | 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.
