Western Australians Vote in State Election Amid Predicted Labor Victory
Western Australia is set to vote in a state election that may secure a third term for the Labor Party, despite a predicted 12-13 percent swing favoring the Liberal Party, which could make up to 11 seats competitive. Current Premier Roger Cook, campaigning for his first election after succeeding Mark McGowan, emphasized that the only poll that matters is the election result, while addressing key voter concerns like cost of living and housing. The Liberals, led by Libby Mettam, argue that Labor has taken voters for granted, citing issues like a broken healthcare system and unaffordable housing. Additionally, the electoral commission has faced logistical challenges in managing the election across Western Australia's vast and dispersed geography, with early voting becoming increasingly popular. Despite these challenges, over 20% of electors have already cast their votes prior to election day, indicating strong engagement from the electorate. The outcome of this election will be closely watched as a barometer for voter sentiment ahead of the upcoming federal election.
