However, fundraisers are starting to realise that not everyone likes a democracy sausage.
The 2019 election may mark an increase in pre-polling, but it's also starting to see schools and local community groups offer more than just the democracy sausage.
Cake stalls and the humble bacon and egg roll are starting to become commonplace at polling booths, while some stations have started offering vegetarian, vegan and halal options.
Others are taking full advantage of the election foot traffic and are hoping to boost their fundraising efforts by having stalls which sell home produce, plants and household items.
"If you're going to go all the effort of having a stall, why not offer to more than just meat eaters?" Southern Cross Early Childhood School P&C president Jessica Yeo said.
"It's inclusive. It's democracy. It's the people, for the people."
Scroll down for a list of polling stations offering food. Leave a message on our Facebook post if you would like your stall added below.
