As a general rule, Melbourne and especially Sydney are the most socially and therefore politically polarised cities in Australia, with the other capital and regional cities less so. Yes, but YES is leading by 12% in inner city Perth (I assume the margin is going to come down) while NO is winning inner city Adelaide by 2%. True, though the Adelaide electorate is quite a bit more working class (both income and professions) and non-English speaking than the Perth electorate. |

Quite surprising to see WA come in better for Yes than SA. WA is less advanced than SA so they should converge a bit more, but it’s certainly notable how SA seems to have been No leaning rather than similar to the national vote. You have to wonder if the SA state government will take any message from this for their (legislated) Voice… Yes, my thumb rule for Australia generally has been that SA would be between Victoria and the nation on the progressive scale. Surprised to see a variation. Somehow feel the absolute mess of the last Liberal government in WA has somehow made the state itself relatively more progressive. |

Wow, the population voting map makes it hugely clear how massively tiny the number of people in Northern Territory is. 2 electoral districts compared to eg five in Tasmania which is ten times smaller geographiclly. Tasmania is guaranteed five seats under the Constitution. |

By my very rough count, Yes will win about 24 electorates when all votes are counted.

The most interesting thing for me personally from this map, is that I have discovered that the population of Christmas Island fall under the Lingiari NT; while the population of Norfolk Island fall under Bean, ACT. |

The most useful thing about the map is in identifying all the Bristol Wests, Brighton Pavilions, Hornsey & wood Greens etc so that in the (admittedly now very unlikely) event that I ever emigrate to Australia I will know which areas so stay the fuck away from

jamie where can I find results broken down by polling station? Click on the electorate to see booths and click Activate to see a map. It’s sometimes a bit funny loading electorates so you may need to reload at different times. www.pollbludger.net/fed2023ref/Results/ |

The Greens gained each of those seats in the same year (2010). Although the former has a longer left-wing history than the latter. |

The highest Yes vote I've found thus far isn't in a particularly surprising area - parts of Newtown saw 90% vote Yes. |

Isn't West Sydney rather ethnically diverse (barring the far west around Penrith)? There seemed to be some talk earlier on that working class recent immigrants and their descendants might be quite strong for No. Yes it is ethnically diverse. You'd imagine that certain minorities such as Croats aren't going to be heavy Yes voters based on some recent events. |

Australia doesn’t have allocated voting booths. In rural areas this makes little difference but in urban areas it does mean you have to account for neighbouring suburbs having a decent bit of crossover with each other. |

Macquarie has been found to be the most polarised electorate in the entire country. As you say, it’s not just an outlier booth but rather the Blue Mountains are very Labor/progressive while Hawkesbury is much more typical (white) exurbs with the Liberal/conservative inclination that goes with it. A few others that come to mind are: Casey (Victorian equivalent of Macquarie) Richmond (hippies in Byron Bay vs retirees on the Queensland border) Page (32.5% overall but again a load of hippie booths in the 60s) There’s also a few electorates in Melbourne which include 80+ Yes booths in the inner city but stretch to 60+ No booths in the banlieue). |

Page has swung a bit to the right recently though. I was quite surprised that the ALP didn't pick it up in 2022. |

Why does Maribyrnong stretch so far out off the inner city? |
