$(FILES) A photo taken in Sydney on September 20, 2017, shows the voting form in the contentious postal survey on same-sex marriage, with ballots delivered across the vast continent ahead of an expected fractious campaign between the "yes" and "no" sides. Nearly 60 percent of Australian voters have already cast their ballots in a controversial postal survey on whether to legalise same-sex marriage, officials said on October 3, 2017. With more than a month to run in the postal vote that began on September 12, an estimated 9.2 million people, or 57.5 percent of the electorate, had returned their forms as of September 29, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said. / AFP PHOTO / WILLIAM WEST$
