The AEC just released yesterday’s pre-poll numbers, and they’re a doozy: 830,000 Australians cast their vote early on Monday, bringing the total to over three million (almost 20% of registered voters).

Last election the only day with more than 800,000 pre-poll votes was election eve (which tends to have the most pre-poll votes every election). Even factoring in a pause in early voting compared because of ANZAC day, this election is well on its way to break last election’s early voting record.

Wondering how pre-polling has evolved over time, and what the implications are of so many early votes? You can read more about that here.
