Will the ALP or the Coalition win more seats?
The average result in our forecast has the Coalition winning 23 more seats than the ALP at the next election resulting in an Coalition government.
Our forecast accounts for uncertainty in opinion polling and predicts the likelihood of a range of possible outcomes. At the moment, there is an 80% chance that the result of the election is somewhere between the Coalition winning 1 more seat than the ALP and the Coalition winning 44 more seats than the ALP. We expect this range to get smaller as we approach election day.
