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	15,470	34.7%	18,067
Early	24,396	54.7%	35,313
Absent	1,472	3.3%	3,257

Provisional	177	0.4%	—
Other	9	0.0%	—
Total	44,571	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 5 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.
