Cheers to all those who worked the BBQ tongs today, and to everyone who sent in a tip-off! We're wrapping up #SAvotes2026 here at Democracy Sausage HQ with info about 47% of booths - including a huge 241 booths with a sausage sizzle or cake stall. #democracysausage #SAvotes2026

Hands down the best election day tradition ever! As a Canadian I am extremely jealous. We need a Canadian equivalent at our election polls immediately. Encourage people to vote, support local charities and causes, and get some food hole you wait or for after you vote. Make Democracy Tasty!

Polls are open, South Australia! Remember: you can only vote once, but you can legally visit every sausage sizzle and cake stall in the State. Good luck to all the volunteers raising funds for their communities today. 💜 #democracysausage #SAvotes2026

Happy election eve, South Australia! We know what's on offer at nearly 1/3 of polling places, but that still leaves many mysteries to solve. If you visit a booth with a grey '?' on the democracysausage.org map, click on it to send a tip-off. Does it have bbq, cake, or nothing at all?

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 Day, Tasmania! Polls are now open. Don’t forget to support your local community fundraisers (and remember, you can get a sausage even if you’ve already voted!) #TasVotes #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!

We salute the snag sizzlers, cake bakers and other fundraisers of Tasmania - who’ve had an occasion to setup every year since 2018, except 2020 😳 #auspol

Tasmania! It’s ON! democracysausage.org/media/2025-T... #auspol #tasvotes

The land of cake sales and democracy sausage has an election coming up on July 19! Unlike so many children’s book illustrators, we won’t forget you Tasmania! We are waiting for the list of polling places to be published before we activate the map on our page. Watch this space! 👀

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.

With polls coming to a close in the east, most #DemocracySausage stalls will have wrapped up for the day, so it’s time to do our Democracy Sausage count before the counting of votes begins!

Overheard at #DemocracySausage HQ: "So much mustard in my beard"

Democracy Sausage is entirely unpaid and unsponsored... but we do occasionally get fun things in the mail.

#democracysausage ✔️ #dogsoftheelection ✔️ Voted ✔️

Just putting it out there... you don't have to be a citizen to go and get a #DemocracySausage (though the Haloumi bites look delicious too!)

Big day here in Australia.

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!

The men's shed items for sale. Info about this was found on @democracysausage.org website.

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

Don't forget Mount Nelson Primary School's cake stall puns @democracysausage.org

Hey Australia, guess what? We have reports of Election Day sausage sizzles on every continent. Yes, even Antarctica! #AusVotes #DemocracySausage

Beautiful Autumnal Melbourne day made even better with a #democracysausage followed with some democracy cake ( St Dominic’s Primary, Camberwell ). @democracysausage.org #auspol

@democracysausage.org Porters Creek Public School, NSW Central Coast, has the goods today!

Dog content is some of our very favourite #DemocracySausage content!

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

Happy Election Day, Australia! Polls are now open in the east. Don’t forget to support your local community fundraisers (you can get a sausage even if you’ve already voted!) #AusVotes #DemocracySausage

We must admit it - we’ve been using Signal for coordinating Democracy Sausage since 2022, and we aren’t even a bit sorry.

Is this thing^H it on?

It’s a wrap! Congratulations and thanks to all those who helped fundraise for WA’s schools and community groups today. We look forward to seeing many of you again at the upcoming Federal Election. #wavotes #democracysausage

Two of the Democracy Sausage team, voting and checking out the fundraiser at Highgate Primary. #wavotes

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

Polls are open, Western Australia! Remember: you can only vote once, but you can legally visit as many election sausage sizzles and cake stalls as you like. Best of luck to all of the volunteers raising funds for their local communities today. ❤️#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!

Hey West Australians, have you planned the source of your #democracysausage on Saturday? @democracysausage.org has got us mapped and ready to sizzle! #auspol #wastateelection2025 democracysausage.org/western_aust...

New handle, same quality election day fundraising tracking.

Wondering when you can start registering sausage sizzles, bake sales and other fundraisers for election days? We start accepting listings when we have a list of electoral places from the state or federal electoral commission, which usually happens a few weeks out from elections
