Totals after Count 17 – end of Wednesday counting
Sixteen candidates have been excluded so far without a candidate reaching the quota, Labor’s Ella Haddad may be the first elected at some point in Thursday’s counting. The Greens’ Vica Bayley may reach quota tomorrow as well, though for the Greens to win two seats, it is in the party’s interest for Green preferences to favour Helen Burnet and Bayley reaching a quota be delayed as long as possible.
The four single candidate Independents remain live in the count and have 1.48 quotas between them, but only Kristie Johnson has a chance of election.
On the Liberal ticket, today’s counting made clear that Madeleine Ogilvie will win the party’s second Clark seat.

With no candidates reaching a quota on first preferences, the count in Clark will commence by excluding the lowest polling candidates.
The table below has been grouped into candidates and parties with a chance of being elected, and other candidates and parties that will be excluded and distributed as preferences.
On first preferences the result in Clark is set to be 2 Liberal, 2 Labor, 2 Greens and Independent Kristie Johnston. The only seat in doubt is the second Liberal where Madeleine Ogilvie on 0.58 quotas could be passed by fellow Liberal Michael Vermey on 0.44. The odds favour Ogilvie.
