Statistics

Postal voting

The postal voting data available as a csv downloadable file will be updated daily to provide a cumulative total, by electoral division, of the number of postal vote applications (PVAs) processed by the AEC.

As the referendum progresses, this file will be updated to include the number of postal vote certificates (PVCs) returned to the AEC for the 2023 referendum. This data will be refreshed daily.

Pre-poll voting

The pre-poll voting data in this spreadsheet includes all the pre-poll votes cast at pre-poll voting centres (PPVCs) for the 2023 referendum. The spreadsheet includes a breakdown of the number of pre-poll votes issued at every PPVC for every day of the pre-poll voting period. The votes issued include both ordinary and declaration votes. Declaration votes are grouped and counted separately by type. This data will be refreshed daily throughout the early voting period.

SA1 vote statistics

This spreadsheet provides an indicative calculation of votes cast per SA1 at the 2023 referendum.

This download assists in the analysis of the geographic footprint of polling places. It uses roll mark-off data combined with polling place results to provide data by SA1s (the CCD column). It is a statistical dataset that is not directly comparable to vote counts due to rounding occurring in the data preperation.

This extract is using the ABS 2016 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS), and comparison to the current ASGS may require concordance.
