US EditionAustralia’s voters go to the polls
- Australians are voting in a federal election on May 2, 2025, to decide whether Anthony Albanese's Labor or Peter Dutton's coalition will govern.
- The election outcome depends on securing 76 seats for a majority, but polls and redistributions suggest Labor may lose a few seats, risking a minority government.
- Labor holds 78 seats pre-election, the coalition 57, and several crossbenchers could influence negotiations if neither reaches 76 seats.
- About 6.73 million early votes and 1.6 million postal ballots reflect record turnout, while published polls show Labor leading 52.5% to 47.5% after preferences.
- A Labor minority or majority government would affect Australia's political stability amid economic and international challenges, with crossbench negotiations likely if no clear majority emerges.
