I've just spoken with the city's Chief Election Officer and she has informed me that turn-out to the advance polls, which ended yesterday, was significantly higher than in the most recent by-prior by-election.
A total of 834 people cast ballots over the three-day advance poll leading up to Saturday's by-election. That's well over double the number (368) of people who voted in advance polls the last time the city staged a by-election.
That earlier by-election ended up attracting only 5% of registered voters, with the winning candidate taking less than 1,300 votes.
I've long believed that high voter turn-out worked in favour of my campaign, and so I'm very pleased by today's news.
