Voter turn-out has been much better than expected in Australia's plebiscite on same-sex marriage.

More than 10 million people cast a vote, before closing time yesterday.

Almost 79-percent of eligible Australian voters have had their say in the poll, which is expected to show a slim majority want marriage laws changed.

Australian correspondent Steve Price says that's a very high turn-out for a non-binding poll.

"It's bigger than the numbers of people who turned out in a non-voluntary vote in Brexit, or the US election. The only problem is of course, is it means nothing."
