All of the action from democracy day in Newcastle and the Hunter

Voters, including Chris O'Hara and Jen Rossiter, cast ballots on May 3 at Carrington Public School during elections in Newcastle and Hunter.
High interest followed a surge in pre-poll voting nationally, with about one-third of Newcastle voters casting early ballots amid competitive races in nearby seats like Paterson.
Voting locations such as Carrington Public School saw busy queues averaging 15 minutes, while a sausage sizzle fundraiser sold 30 dozen eggs, raising money for the school community.
Some 41,889 pre-poll votes represented about 33% of Newcastle’s registered voters, and one democracy sausage with onion cost $5.50, reflecting local engagement and support.
The election day demonstrated strong community participation and suggested that shifting national political climates could moderate local outcomes, with final impacts yet uncertain.
