THE counting of 101,101 votes, including a full distribution of preferences from 94 polling booths from the Federal Election on May 21, 2022, has finalised the tally for Wannon and changed the status of the traditionally Liberal held ‘Blue Ribbon’ seat to officially marginal.

Mr Tehan, who has held the seat since 2010, was returned and despite a buffer of +10.2 per cent following the 2019 Federal Election, this time received less than the qualifying 56 per cent to officially retain a comfortable margin.
