Around the grounds - ACT Election.

Let's take a look around the grounds at what people are saying about the ACT election tomorrow.

Poll Bludger has a piece about how many seats each party is likely to win and what may happen if the Greens vote is as high as polls suggest.

Canberra Times has an article showing incumbent Jon Stanhope has slightly increased his small lead over Zed Seselja as preferred Chief Minister.

The ABC Elections site has an article about The Greens saying they don't yet know who they would back in a minority government if they win enough seats.

ACT State Election: Canberra Times poll

Chief Minister Jon Stanhope's Labor Party is set to lose up to three ACT Legislative Assembly seats and Mr Stanhope will have to rely on the Greens' support to keep his job, according to an exclusive poll.

The Patterson-Canberra Times poll, conducted this week, points to the end of majority government on October 18 and finds the ACT Greens will be the big winner on election day, increasing their representation fourfold and getting to decide who takes power.
