Ah the physical tally rooms! We loved them but they sure were a lot of work. The last physical AEC tally room was operated at the 2010 federal election & it took approx. 15 days to set up & 120 staff to run it! Here are some pic’s going all the way back to the 1958 election!

Today, we celebrate 35 years since the Western Australian Electoral Commission was established. On this day in 1987, the Commission replaced the State Electoral Department (which was established in 1904). Here’s a throwback to the 1980 State Election tally room!

An election scenario at @Canberra’s Enlighten Festival. Consistent Orange vs Banana two-candidate counts through the night – no doubt a reflection of the age-old citrus / potassium divide. enlightencanberra.com/progra…
