‘Democracy sausage’ fundraisers are something of an Australian Election Day tradition. A website with Google maps plugins recently launched help people find these on election day.

**[Democracy Sausage.org](https://democracysausage.org/?fbclid=IwAR2f_p45xUWDbW8fj9fSpF1z6-2BxXYRvvIgfGU-alHOUqWwg3K955nmWSs)** is a crowd-sourced (“Or is it crowd sauced?”) resource, drawing from people tweeting using the hashtag #democracysausage as well as official information from the Australian Electoral Commission. 

The site also advises if there are savoury vegetarian options, coffee available, or a cake stall, among other pieces of information.

The site additionally provides space for school P&C committees to list what they will have for sale.

With the election taking place within days, the latest polls have been tight, with the Opposition holding a narrow lead over the Morrison Liberal Government.

Voting takes place in a wide variety of public places. In NSW, this includes the Uniting Church Hall in Albert Street, Taree, among other church locations.
