Overview
- Over 1,800 democracy sausage stalls have been mapped for Australia's May 3 federal election, including locations worldwide and in Antarctica.
- The democracy sausage tradition, dating back to the 1920s, continues to unite civic participation and community fundraising on election day.
- Uber Eats has introduced a delivery option for democracy sausages in select Australian cities, donating part of the proceeds to charity.
