Australian voters in the Indigenous voice to parliament referendum were starkly divided, with people in rural areas rejecting the proposal while those in inner cities backing the advisory body.
But digging deeper into the voting booths themselves exposes other patterns.
Some polling places, especially in regional Australia, can have large catchment areas. The map below slices up Australia and creates a region for each polling place based on its location and the location of other polling places.
The count has not finished, so this graphic uses the latest data released by the Australian Electoral Commission. You can find the full breakdowns, including at the electorate level, on our results page.
As of Monday afternoon, there was strong support for the voice in the booths around Byron Bay in northern New South Wales, despite the electorate of Richmond voting no.
More than 75% of voters in the Melbourne electorate opted for yes and half the electorate’s booths had yes votes above 80%. But even in metro Melbourne, there is a range of 30 percentage points between different booths.
The map allows you to dig a little deeper and look at the percentage of yes vote by polling place.
Not all polling places have fixed locations – most electorates had several mobile teams going into hospitals or remote areas so that everyone would have a chance to vote.
This table shows the latest yes percentage for polling places without a fixed address. You can search by state, division or the name of the polling place.
