While pre-polling data can't be disclosed just yet, it has been confirmed that the number of early votes cast before Saturday was close to the projected figure.
Before the Bathurst early voting centre opened, returning officer Stuart Evennett said as many as 11,000 votes were anticipated to be received in the fortnight before the election.
Across the electorate, around 19,000 people were expected to vote early.
With approximately 57,000 registered voters in the electorate, that means around one-third of them would be voting early.
Those who haven't voted have until 6pm on Saturday to get to one of the many polling booths in the electorate.
