Listen "How was The Election Called Before Counting was Finished?"
Episode Synopsis
The 2025 Australian election was called after about 2.5 hours - yet days afterwards they're still counting votes so how is it that we know the election result without it being officially declared? Well, in this episode I explain the basics of how the news uses statistical trends to make predictions even though it'll still be weeks before the official declaration of results from the AEC.Support the channel on patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/AuspolExplainedLike Auspol Explained on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Auspol-Explained-107892180702388Auspol Explained would like to acknowledge the Whadjuk Nyoongar people and their Elders as the owners and custodians of the Land that the episode was recorded and edited on.
