Heading to GIO Stadium Canberra on 3 May to watch the ACT Brumbies v NSW Waratahs and want to follow the election coverage? Here’s how.

Brumbies ACT will show coverage of Australia’s Federal Election ahead of and during its round 12 Super Rugby Pacific match.

Dubbed as Canberra’s biggest election watch party, the Slab next to the South Stand at GIO Stadium will show vote counts live as they start to become official from around 7pm.

Australians head to vote on Saturday up and down the country, with polling stations open from 8am-6pm local time.

There will also be a couple of live crosses to election coverage on the big screen at GIO Stadium Canberra at half-time.

ACT Brumbies business operations and commercial general manager Gavin Hunt said given the club’s biggest match against the Waratahs fell on election night, “we’re keen to ensure members and fans are able to keep track of the election results without missing the game, should they wish to.”
