With polls closing in one hour we are in the final lap of the 2025. WA state election. Both leaders cast their votes early this morning.
“People in other parts of the world fight for the right to be able to walk into a polling booth and have a say on who they want to lead our state and our country,” said Labor leader Roger Cook in Kwinana.
Liberal leader Libby Mettam cast her vote in Dunsborough.
But the Liberal party requires a monumental swing to secure a shock return to government.
That’s thanks to the historic 2021 result, when Labor, buoyed by the popularity of then-premier Mark McGowan and his response to the pandemic, claimed a record 53 of 59 seats in the lower house with just under 70 per cent of the two-party preferred vote.
