Federal Election 2025: Check out the electorates with the highest pre-polling rates

See the top seats where millions of Australian voters have already cast their vote. Check your own electorate with our interactive list.

About a third of enrolled Australians have already cast their vote ahead of the federal election, with some divisions set to have more voters pre-poll than will turn up on election day.

Australian Electoral Commission figures reveal about 5.7 million votes (31 per cent) had been received by end of play yesterday – up from about 4.6 million (27 per cent) two-days out from the 2022 election.

In the Queensland seat of Hinkler, 46 per cent of enrolled Australians had gotten a jump on their democratic duty before booths closed yesterday, suggesting it will tip over the halfway point before the end of today.

Pre-polling rates were above 40 per cent in Fowler (NSW), Fisher (QLD), Gilmore (NSW), Gippsland (VIC), Nicholls (VIC), Dawson (QLD), Kennedy (QLD), Fairfax (QLD) and Eden-Monaro (NSW).

Rates have increased across the country, with the figures down in only 11 electorates, including Linigari (NT), Watson (NSW), Blaxland (NSW), Durack (WA), Calwell (VIC) and Bass (TAS).
