IN PICTURES: Smell of democracy sausages wafts across Albany as crowds cast their votes on election day

The smell of democracy sausages wafted across Albany on Saturday as residents turned out to polling places to cast their votes in the 2022 Federal election. About 5.54 million Australians voted at pre-poll centres this year, with another 2.73 million applying for postal votes, but there was still a buzz at the booths on the big day. Greens WA candidate Giz Watson voted at the Albany Town Hall, while Liberal incumbent Rick Wilson joined the queue at Mt Lockyer Primary School. Mt Lockyer Primary School P&C put on a sausage sizzle at the school polling booth to raise money for a Year 6 camp.
