Australians had begun voting last month in the non-binding poll to inform the government on whether voters wanted Australia to become the 25th nation to permit same-sex marriage. The results are to be announced on Nov. 15.

The response rate has already surpasses the 60.5 percent reached in Ireland's same-sex marriage referendum in 2015.
