The results of the same-sex marriage survey are in -- and it's a resounding 'yes'. Read the full coverage of the result from HuffPost Australia's Karen Barlow in Canberra. After weeks of campaigning, months of planning and years debate, Australia is now as close to marriage equality as it has ever been. On Wednesday, the Australian Bureau of Statistics revealed that a majority of Australians voted yes to the reform. Here's everything you need to know. When was the gay marriage vote announced? The ABS announced the marriage equality survey results at 10am (AEDT) on Wednesday; 9.30am in Adelaide, and 7am in Perth. The Australian Statistician, David Kalisch, announced the result at a media conference in Canberra, broadcast live on TV. The ABS said "the detailed results and quality report will be published on the Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey website".

How can I access the same-sex marriage vote results? Kalisch announced the overall result at the 10am press conference, but further detailed information was released online. The ABS advised it will publish: A count of responses (Yes, No and Response Not Clear) by Federal Electoral Division, State/Territory and National;

A count of eligible Australians who have not participated;

A participation rate by age and gender for each FED, State/Territory and National. The age participation rate will be published in the age groups of 18-19 years, 20-24 years, 25-29 years, 30-34 years, 35-39 years, 40-44 years, 45-49 years, 50-54 years, 55-59 years, 60-64 years, 65-69 years, 70-74 years, 75-79 years, 80-84 years, and 85+ years. However, the results to the survey will not broken down by vote according to age or gender, due to the anonymous nature of the survey. "The answer to the survey question is anonymous – the ABS will not be able to provide a count of Yes, No and Response Not Clear by age or gender," the ABS said.
