Bean counting enters Friday with few votes between Jessie Price and Labor

  • On Tuesday, the Australian Electoral Commission commenced sending 1.3 million ballots back to their respective home divisions to continue the 2025 federal election count.
  • This delivery marks the beginning of the 'fresh scrutiny' stage, during which all votes counted so far—including declaration ballots such as postal, overseas, and interstate votes—are recounted as required.
  • Labor leads with about 85 seats while the Coalition holds 39, with 16 seats still undecided as close races persist in electorates such as Melbourne and Kooyong.
  • Acting AEC Commissioner Jeff Pope reported that over one million postal ballots have now been processed, highlighting that the counting is conducted carefully rather than quickly to ensure secure handling.
  • Ongoing counting and scrutiny suggest final results could change in several tight seats, with greater clarity expected as more declaration votes are processed over the next week.
