In the lower house, a partial recount will start on Wednesday for the seat of Goldstein at the request of independent Zoe Daniel. Daniel is being challenged by Liberal Tim Wilson, with the full distribution putting Wilson ahead by 260 votes.
Election officials in the northern Sydney seat of Bradfield are undertaking a full recount after just eight votes separated Liberal candidate Gisele Kapterian from independent challenger Nicolette Boele.
The Bradfield recount could take up to two weeks while the tally in Goldstein is expected to take four days.
