The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) announced today the result of the provisional distribution of preferences conducted in the division of Denison.
Australian Electoral Officer for Tasmania, Sandra Riordan said the provisional distribution of preferences conducted today confirmed Jonathan Jackson and Andrew Wilkie as the two leading candidates in the division of Denison.
"The provisional scrutiny today has provided certainty around the two candidate preferred result," Ms Riordan said.
The next step will be to finalise counting including postal votes that may be received by the cut-off date of Friday 3 September. A full and final distribution of preferences will follow as soon as possible.
Details of the provisional distribution of preferences is below:
