Where to get a democracy sausage
One of the great traditions of election days, democracy sausages will be on offer at many voting centres on Saturday.

Keep in mind it’s not an official resource – their information is largely crowdsourced, so you’ll need to take their list with a pinch of salt, splash of sauce, or whatever your go-to democracy sausage condiment is.
