Get the scoop on Tasmania's thrilling election day - leaders voting, party defections, and voters enjoying sweet treats at the polls! ๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ๐ŸŽ‰

Tasmania is abuzz with excitement as the state's early election unfolds, with Labor's Rebecca White vying to overthrow Australia's last Liberal government after a decade in opposition. Voting booths have opened, and over 400,000 Tasmanians are set to cast their votes today, determining the fate of the state's political landscape. The stakes are high as polls opened early following the defection of two Liberal MPs, John Tucker and Lara Alexander, adding an unexpected twist to the election drama.

As the day progresses, the tension mounts as the nation watches the historic battle for power unfold. With Tasmania's political future hanging in the balance, the Liberal government led by Premier Jeremy Rockliff fights to retain its authority amidst the addition of new seats in the election. Voters across the state are eagerly participating, with polling places bustling as they make their voices heard in this critical election.

In the midst of the electoral frenzy, Tasmania's five divisions - Bass, Braddon, Clark, Franklin, and Lyons - are set to elect seven members each to the lower house for the first time in over two decades, adding significance to this year's election. The Liberals are predicted to secure a minority win, setting the stage for a potentially dramatic outcome in the battle for power.

As the day unfolds, leaders cast their ballots alongside family members, injecting a personal touch into the electoral process. Meanwhile, voters are treated to sweet delights at polling stations, adding a festive and community-focused atmosphere to the election day. The Mercury's dedicated team, including political expert Kevin Bonham, provides live coverage and analysis, ensuring that every moment of this historic event is captured and shared with the Tasmanian public.
