With a snap state election called I am scurrying to get my Legislative Council guides out as fast as possible too, as I am keen to ensure that the LegCo elections do not get neglected (especially as they are currently expected to be on the same day). I've started with Windermere because it is the most interesting on paper; link to Derwent is here and both pages are linked off my general state election main page. An analysis of voting in the chamber in recent years has also been posted.
I will be doing live coverage of the state election from 6 pm for The Mercury on their website and this will include the Legislative Council seats too. Postcount threads will be posted for any seats that remain in doubt or of interest following counting night.
Seat Profile
Windermere covers the eastern side of the Tamar River including George Town and the northern and some eastern Launceston suburbs. At the 2017 redistribution it was expanded, gaining the Lilydale area from the abolished division of Apsley (the nearest parts of which are now McIntyre). Windermere is a diverse electorate, including the strongly Labor satellite suburbs of Ravenswood and Waverley, the pro-Liberal suburbs of Norwood and St Leonards, and some booths with fairly high Green votes along the river.
