After almost a week since election day, the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) says the vote count is progressing well.
Most of the first preference votes have been counted and undergone additional inspection.
Electoral Commissioner Tom Rogers says even though there have been some anticipated staff shortages because of COVID-19, the AEC remains on track to return the writs to the Governor-General on or before June 28.
"Our motto for the count is 'right, not rushed'," Rogers said.
"The count is progressing well and it is likely that the results in some seats will start to be declared from mid-next week. This can only occur once it becomes mathematically impossible for any other candidate to win."
The AEC is able to receive postal votes till June 3.
"In a number of seats, the margins are so thin that the AEC will need to wait until we have received and counted all allowable postal votes before distributing preferences and declaring a result," Rogers said.
