Day 11: Australia Day Boosts Poll Participation?

City of Cockburn	29.15%
Town of East Fremantle	38.86%
City of Kwinana	44.41%
City of South Perth	35.61%
Town of Victoria Park	28.21%

Kwinana numbers for today might look a little disappointing but they are direct continuation of the Australia Day weekend returns - and Kwinana is still well on track to record a binding poll result.

Interesting that both South Perth and East Fremantle show a kick-up in returns today - perhaps people have been inspired by Australia Day to actively be part of and  support our democratic traditions. Keep that up and these communities will also achieve the magic 50% (plus a bit to allow for informal/invalid votes).

Votes still needed for 50% (but remember need to add a bit for informal/invalid votes):

City of Cockburn	12,906
Town of East Fremantle	578
City of Kwinana	1,018
City of South Perth	3,856
Town of Victoria Park	4,387

In South Perth, the most substantial turn-up was in the two least-well-performing wards, which suggests that the message is getting through across the City.
