Nice results maps at The Tally Room.

Monday 8:10 pm: Sorry for the slow updates; Monday's my chess night. Anyway it's all over; Armstrong has smashed Hodgman on Smith's preferences winning 57.7% of them; Hodgman with 17.8% couldn't even beat exhaust. Final result is a whopping 57:43 to the Huon Valley mayor, but the real margin was his survival at the Smith exclusion by under 3% of the total.

Legislative Council 2014: Huon and Rosevears Guide and Candidates
May 3: My live coverage page is now up: LegCo Rosevears and Huon Live
==============================================================
What? Another Tasmanian election? Yes, I know, the dust has barely settled on the main state poll and it's already time to gear up for an election on May the 3rd for two of the state's fifteen upper house electorates. I should have more on the Lower House election (oh, and perhaps even the WA Senate by-election!) over the next few weeks but felt like setting up this guide first. This article will serve as the main outlook and candidate guide piece for the two seats, and will include links to any other articles that arise from the campaigns. I expect to run a separate live coverage thread here on the night.
A reminder that this site welcomes donations; see the sidebar for details. Donations assist in increasing the amount of time I can spend on this site and my ability to run it effectively when away from home.
The Legislative Council
For those who've managed not to notice it before (even for Tasmanians, this isn't hard) the Legislative Council (or LegCo) is the state's upper house of parliament. It consists of fifteen single-member electorates with members elected for six-year terms. Elections are held on a staggered basis so that each year two or three seats go to the polls.
