- Teal candidate leading by four votes
A Teal candidate on Sydney‘s north shore is leading by just four votes in Australia’s tightest election race in more than 100 years.
Independent Nicolette Boele was just four votes ahead of her Liberal rival Gisele Kapertarian in the seat of Bradfield with 100 per cent of the vote counted.
This is shaping up as Australia’s tightest race since 1919 when Labor lost Ballarat by one vote.
The Australian Electoral Commission automatically recounts votes if the margin is under 100.
