As New South Wales residents head to the ballot boxes to cast their vote on Saturday, 25 March, Sky News will bring viewers every update live with an expert election night panel.
New South Wales premier Dominic Perrottet and opposition leader Chris Minns face off in the closest contest the State has seen in decades. It’s the first battle at the ballot box for two new leaders, both offering competing policies and pitches for the State’s future. The voters’ verdict will have significant ramifications for federal politics and the leaderships of prime minister Anthony Albanese and opposition leader Peter Dutton.
Throughout election day Sky News will be live in the battleground seats that will make-or-break both party’s prospects, speaking to voters about the issues that have determined their decision.
Join Tim Gilbert and Jaynie Seal from 6.00am AEDT for Weekend Edition, as candidates and campaigners prepare for a busy polling day. Peter Stefanovic hosts Weekend Live from 10:00am AEDT as the leaders cast their votes and make their last pitches, before Ashleigh Gillon brings you viewers the final hours of critical voting from 2:00pm AEDT.
