In just three days of early voting, 13,858 people have visited pre-poll centres across the electorate to mark either Yes or No to the referendum question.

Early voting opened across the country on Monday, October 2, delayed until October 3 in NSW due to the long weekend holiday.

It appears Eden-Monaro voters couldn't wait to cast their ballot, with thousands heading to the polls on the first day they were open.

Queanbeyan, not surprisingly given the greatest population base, saw the highest voter count on day one, with 1074 ballots cast on October 3.

Subsequent days saw 845 and 691 early voters, respectively.

Other centres that saw high numbers of early voters include Merimbula (2086 in the three days to Thursday, October 5, inclusive), Tumut (1760), Bega (1725), Narooma (1377), Jerrabomberra (1283), Cooma (1104), and Yass (1032).
