FORGET the profligate spending promises, the cheesy photo opportunities, the stage-managed policy announcements, the impassioned pleas for your vote.

We all know what really makes our democracy sizzle is an election day banger in bread and a fresh homemade jam drop from the local church or school bake sale.

We’re not alone in our deep abiding love for a sausage on Democracy Day.

In recent years, the hashtags #democracysausage and #snagvotes have helped give rise to a national movement, in reverence of our Australia’s unique ability to turn any public gathering into a casual barbecue.

Because it’s part of our mission to help keep those big greasy wheels of democracy turning, we’d be derelict in our responsibilities as a news organisation if we didn’t bring you this handy map of SA sausage sizzle locations for 2018. Now, do you want onions?
