On the Could 21 federal election, Labor received 77 of the 151 Home of Representatives seats (up eight since 2019 when adjusted for redistributions), the Coalition received 58 seats (down 18), the Greens 4 (up three) and all Others 12 (up seven).
The 2019 election outcome was Coalition 77 seats and Labor 68, however the ABC adjusts for Labor gaining a seat from the Coalition from redistributions. Craig Kelly’s defection from the Coalition to the UAP will not be factored in, so Hughes will not be a achieve for the Coalition.
Close to-final main votes had been 35.7% Coalition (down 5.7%), 32.6% Labor (down 0.8%), 12.2% Greens (up 1.8%), 5.0% One Nation (up 1.9%), 4.1% UAP (up 0.7%) and 5.3% for independents (up 1.9%). One Nation gained as a result of they contested 149 of 151 Home seats, up from 59 in 2019.
The ABC’s nationwide two celebration estimate is at present at 51.9-48.1 to Labor, a 3.4% swing to Labor.
The Home election outcome was very disproportionate. With simply 32.6% of the first vote, Labor received 51% of Home seats. One Nation and the UAP didn’t come near successful any seats regardless of a mixed main vote of 9.1%; neither celebration even made the ultimate two in any seat.

Why Labor is prone to win a Home of Representatives majority regardless of a 33% main vote
Labor and the Greens mixed received 81 of the 151 Home seats (53.6% of seats). That is in good settlement with the nationwide two celebration vote. Whereas Labor’s main vote was disappointing, events of the left general clearly received this election in each seats and votes.
I’ll have extra to say on the Home outcomes once we know the precise nationwide two celebration vote, which can happen when all seats that didn’t find yourself as Labor vs Coalition contests are recounted between these two events.
How did the polls go?
The desk beneath exhibits the ultimate nationwide polls from all pollsters, and the election outcomes utilizing the ABC’s two celebration estimate. Ballot estimates that had been inside 1% of the outcomes are in daring.
Federal 2022 polls in opposition to election outcomes.
Important’s ultimate ballot had 7% undecided, however elections don’t permit undecided voters, so I’ve excluded undecided; this makes the first votes for the foremost events larger than the 36% Coalition, 35% Labor reported, and so Important’s miss is worse.
Morgan’s headline of their ultimate ballot was a Labor lead of 53-47 by 2019 choice flows, however analyst Kevin Bonham stated it was really 53.9-46.1 by this technique, and this suggests Morgan miscalculated. I’m utilizing 54 as Morgan’s two-party estimate.
Morgan and Resolve broke down their Others votes into votes for independents and different events, however Important, Newspoll and Ipsos didn’t. So I’m utilizing the determine for all Others within the desk.
The election outcomes main vote hole between the Coalition and Labor was 3.1 factors within the Coalition’s favour, however solely Resolve obtained this hole right. Important had a one-point Coalition lead, however badly overstated the votes for each main events. Morgan had a tie, however understated UAP and overstated Others. Newspoll and Ipsos each had Labor main the Coalition by one level on main votes.
Newspoll, Ipsos and Morgan all used 2019 choice flows for his or her headline figures. We could have a greater concept of choice flows when we have now a nationwide two-party determine, however Labor carried out higher on preferences than in 2019.
The Newspoll and Ipsos errors on main votes had been thus moderated by an error the opposite method on choice flows. On the 2019 election, the choice stream error compounded the first vote error.

Whereas Resolve’s ultimate ballot understated each main events and overstated the Greens, it was simply the perfect ultimate ballot, because it precisely predicted the three-point Coalition main vote win. Newspoll, Ipsos and notably Important overstated the foremost events.
The Resolve ballot would look even higher had they used 2019 choice flows as their headline determine (52-48 to Labor). They used respondent preferences as their headline (51-49 to Labor).
Seat polls had been usually very improper
Seat polls within the seats focused by teal independents often overstated the independents’ votes, however the independents nonetheless received all of those seats. Worse errors occurred in seat polls in normal two celebration contests.

Labor’s lead narrows in three new nationwide polls; and seat polls galore
There have been two polls of Gilmore that gave Labor a 56-44 and a 57-43 lead, however Gilmore was the closest seat with Labor successful by simply 50.2-49.8. A ballot of Eden-Monaro gave the Liberals a 51-49 lead (precise: 58.1-41.9 to Labor). A ballot of Web page gave the Nationals only a 51-49 lead (precise: 60.7-39.3 to Nationals).
Within the final week, 4 WA seat polls had been printed which tremendously understated Labor’s leads. In Swan, Labor led by 53-47 and in Pearce by 52-48. In Tangney, the Liberals led by 54-46 and in Hasluck by 55-45. Precise outcomes: 59.0-41.0 to Labor in Swan, 59.0-41.0 in Pearce, 56.0-44.0 in Hasluck and 52.4-47.6 in Tangney.
There have been some successes, with seat polls coming near precise leads to Parramatta, Lindsay, Reid and Higgins. However general seat polls had been hit or miss.
A particular YouGov ballot that predicted the lead to all seats had Labor successful 80 of the 151 seats, the Coalition 63, the Greens one and Others seven. So Labor was three wanting this projection, the Coalition 5 quick, the Greens three above and Others 5 above.
Senate replace: ultimate WA Senate race may very well be shut
The nationwide Senate depend is now at 88.8% of enrolled voters, solely simply behind the Home depend of 89.4%, which could be very near ultimate turnout.
Utilizing 2019 Senate choice flows, The Ballot Bludger has created a spreadsheet to foretell the Senate winners at this election. This shall be a sturdy technique if 2022 flows should not markedly completely different from these in 2019.
This spreadsheet was final up to date on Saturday. In my earlier article on the Senate on Could 30, I listed the sixth and final seat in Victoria, Queensland and SA as unsure.

Labor prone to get a pleasant Senate and secures Home of Representatives majority
Since that article, the Coalition has gained in SA, and is anticipated to win the final seat there, whereas One Nation ought to win in Queensland utilizing 2019 choice flows. Victoria may very well be received by any of the Coalition, UAP or Labor, however probably the Coalition.
In WA, the depend is at 87.1% of enrolled, up from 66% beforehand. Labor now has 2.43 quotas, the Coalition 2.22, the Greens 0.99, One Nation 0.24 and Legalise Hashish 0.23. The Coalition has made up sufficient floor that they may win if preferences from different events stream strongly to them, although I feel that is unlikely.
If the Coalition wins in Victoria and SA, One Nation in Queensland and Labor in WA, the outcomes of this half-Senate election can be 16 of 40 seats for the Coalition, 15 Labor, six Greens, one One Nation, one Jacqui Lambie Community (JLN) and one David Pocock.
The Coalition would have 33 of the 76 complete senators, Labor 26, the Greens 12, One Nation two, the JLN two and Pocock one. On laws opposed by the Coalition, the simplest path to a majority (39 votes) for Labor can be the Greens and both Pocock or the JLN.
In my earlier Senate article, I had thought button presses to distribute preferences may occur this week within the NT, ACT and Tasmania, however it appears to be like like subsequent week for them. The larger states ought to come the next week. All members elected at this election should be formally declared by June 28.
