Where Australia voted YES on the Voice: Stark’s map shows Sydney is halved by Yes and No, one city has overwhelming support for the Voice (but doesn’t count) and Albo voters themselves reach their verdict
Australia has overwhelmingly rejected Voice to Parliament, but there were some areas that voted Yes.
Affluent electorates in Sydney’s eastern suburbs strongly supported the proposed constitutional change, along with voters on the city’s northern beaches.
The prime minister’s seat of Grayndler in Sydney’s inner west also voted strongly Yes.
But in the rest of Sydney and the rest of New South Wales, it was a clear No, and a clear map reveals the clear divide.
While the count is still underway, it looks like every state will return a No vote.
The Australian Capital Territory, however, is likely to vote Yes with around 65 per cent voting Yes with 16 per cent of the count completed.

Votes in the territories will be included in the national tally, but for the referendum to succeed, a majority of states will also need to vote Yes.
Although the Prime Minister’s signature policy was condemned, his electorate backed the Voice in Parliament with a whopping 78 per cent voting Yes in the early stages of counting.
Warringah and Mackellar on the Northern Beaches also showed strong support for the referendum with 64 per cent and 54 per cent respectively voting Yes so far.
North Sydney’s figure currently stands at 63 per cent Yes, Wentworth in the city’s eastern suburbs is at 66 per cent and Kingsford Smith stands at 54 per cent.
Sydney’s electorate is currently 69 per cent Yes and Bennelong has a slim majority at 52 per cent.
