1640570359803170816 | @916_stevo @tomwconnell If you look at elections lately, more and more people are voting early. Be it pre-poll or postals. The on the day voting is the first vote to be recorded and that skews towards Labor. It can sometimes paint a less than complete figure | 0 |

1640553977493467137 | @tomwconnell Liverpool prepoll to be counted after lunch. Apparently there is 2700 votes. Labor would need 62% to catch up and a bit more to build a lead for postals | 0 |

1640602633277935616 | @916_stevo @rohancct @tomwconnell I really wonder - being fair here and noting @kevinbonham 's excellent analysis - whether the advent of heavily patronised early voting centres is making 'matching booths' somewhat antiquated now? | 4 |

1640604196746698752 | @GrayConnolly @916_stevo @rohancct @tomwconnell It's meaning that when assumptions about booth swings being matched in prepoll go wrong the impact can be large. (This also happened in Vic 2018 but in that case only turned a mega-thrashing into a big thrashing) Most elections since it has still worked fine. | 3 |
1640606038562054144 | @GrayConnolly @916_stevo @rohancct @tomwconnell Total prepoll vote share was up by 7% of enrolment even though prepolls were only a week! | 2 |
1640605176846483458 | @kevinbonham @916_stevo @rohancct @tomwconnell I went past the voting centre at North Sydney late on Friday near the council chambers & it was very busy and had a huge booth worker force for each candidate - my understanding is that it did swift business in the week or so prior. | 2 |
