NSW Electoral Commissioner John Schmidt today released the statewide early voting numbers so far.
"To date, a total of 845,779 people have taken up early voting," he said.
"This includes 670,998 people who have voted in person at 194 early voting centres around the state.
"We have received 23,762 postal votes so far, 144,259 people have voted via iVote internet and telephone voting and we have taken mobile voting to 6760 people at declared facilities, including nursing homes, aged care facilities and hospitals."
Mr Schmidt said early voting was likely to peak on Thursday and Friday.
"Postal vote applications have closed, but people can register to use iVote internet and telephone voting up until 1pm on election day," he said.
There are eligibility requirements to use iVote, so people will need to visit elections.nsw.gov.au to check.
