Daniel confirmed she had asked for a full recount, based on expert advice.

“In light of the very tight margin and several errors picked up in the portion of the count that was included in the distribution of preferences, leading to unusual fluctuations and large numbers of votes moving to and fro in the final stages of the count, I have taken expert advice and asked the AEC to consider whether a full recount is appropriate,” Daniel said.

What is a partial recount?

“We are satisfied that there was a very high degree of rigour throughout the distribution of preferences process,” it said in a statement.

“We have been very relaxed about every count and recount to date in Goldstein, as we know the count will deliver the result that reflects the will of the people of Goldstein,” he wrote on X on Monday morning.

Could the results change?
