Dunstan recorded in the order of 3800 postal vote applications and 3931 pre-poll votes, with ABC election analyst Antony Green predicting those votes will get Marshall over the line.
“If the trend in today’s count continues then Steven Marshall should win re-election,” Green wrote on his blog last night.
“Based on interstate evidence, postal voting is more likely to favour the Liberal Party where pre-poll voting is more like on the day voting.”
Marshall officially resigxjmtzywned as premier yesterday, after announcing over the weekend that he would step down as leader of the Liberal party.
There have been no changes to the two-party vote in the blue-ribbon regional electorates of Finniss and Hammond, where independents Lou Nicholson and Airlie Keen are serious contenders.
