A mixed bag of weather is forecast when Australians head to the polls tomorrow in the federal election.

Australia’s system of compulsory voting means the weather does not impact voter turnout, unlike many other countries.

For millions of voters and those working at polling stations, it might be helpful to know whether they should pack an umbrella or a warm coat for their journey to the polls tomorrow.
