Around 1 hour and 47 minutes into the Australian Electoral Commission vote count on Saturday 1 April 2023, elections analyst Antony Green and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation confidently predicted that Labor had won the Aston federal by-election with a projected 53.4 per cent of the votes and a +9 per cent swing.
This is the first time a federal government of any stripe has taken an Opposition seat in a by-election in over 100 years.
Australian Labor Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has phoned Aston Labor candidate Mary Doyle and congratulated her on the historic win.
Note: This aforementioned figures do not represent the final vote count on the night and the count will commence again on Sunday and continue until all postal votes are counted. This will not affect the result. Labor has won.
