First results expected: May 3, 2025 at 4:00 AM EDT

Anthony Albanese, the leader of the Labor party is forecast to win enough seats to hold power in the 2025 election, becoming the first prime minister in two decades to win consecutive elections.

The Australian Broadcasting Corp. has projected the Labor Party will win a majority of seats in the parliament. The final seat count is expected to take days and will only be announced once the Australian Electoral Commission declares final results for all electorates.

The result is a major victory for Albanese, who had been trailing the Coalition in opinion polls for months and was widely expected to be forced into minority government at this election. However a bounce back in opinion polling following the start of the campaign saw the prime minister’s stocks rise. The result solidifies Albanese’s legacy as a hero in the Labor Party and will give him authority to stamp his mark on the government and the country.

Since 2022, there has been a redistribution of electorates by the independent Australian Electoral Commission. There are now 150 seats to be won — 46 in New South Wales, 38 in Victoria, 30 in Queensland, 16 in Western Australia, 10 in South Australia, five in Tasmania, three in the Australian Capital Territory and two in the Northern Territory.

Both New South Wales and Victoria had a seat abolished (one held by Labor, one held by an independent lawmaker) while Western Australia had a new seat created.
