Ripon sits on a knife's edge
It's still expected to be several days before a clear outcome is known in the seat of Ripon in the State Election.
The seat is currently held by the Liberal party with incumbent member Louise Staley fighting to hold the electorate, but Labor candidate Sarah De Santis is a strong chance of claiming the region.
More than 70 per cent of the overall votes have been counted and Ms Staley holds the lead on first preferences 39.28 per cent to Ms De Santis 39.02 per cent.
After preferences Ms De Santis is in front with 50.1 per cent of the vote to Ms Staley 49.9 per cent, meaning there has been a swing of 0.8 per cent from 2014.
