The Mercury was on the ground from 8am all the way until midnight Saturday to keep our readers up to date with everything they needed to know about the federal election. COMPLETE ELECTION DAY WRAP>>> 

Welcome to The Mercury's live 2022 Federal Election blog. 

We're thrilled to have the unrivalled expertise of Dr Kevin Bonham covering this election night.

Three of Tasmania's five House of Representatives seats will be the focus of national attention: both major parties have run big campaigns in Bass, Braddon and Lyons. In the Senate, all eyes will be on the battle between Liberal Senator Eric Abetz and challengers Tammy Tyrrell from the Jacquie Lambie Network and Leanne Minshull from the newly-formed Local Party.

Our team of expert political reporters and gun photographers standing by up to deliver all the developments that matter to Tasmania as they happen.
