Over the coming days results will be progressively updated on our results pages on this website.
Legislative Assembly
The Commission is continuing to count early and postal votes as they become available, with priority being given to close districts. Once all votes have been counted a full distribution of preferences will be conducted by each district Returning Officer.
The timing of the distribution of preferences is dependent upon the return of ballot papers from overseas and interstate, as well as the return of a large number of postal votes, which can be received up until 9.00 a.m. on Thursday 16 March. These votes first need to be processed before they are available for counting.
Legislative Council
At present the Commission is continuing to undertake indicative counting of early and absent ballot papers where electors have voted above the line.
The final results determination of Legislative Council votes is undertaken electronically given the complexity of the voting and proportional representation counting system. Data entry of both above and below the line votes will commence on Thursday 16 March and will continue into next week.
