ABC Perth has you covered for the state election | Win tickets to an exclusive preview of 'Spit' starring David Wenham

I've been a journalist for 30 years and with a keen interest in politics, elections are something I look forward to.

As I've often said, voting is a privilege and a right not afforded to everyone around the world.

And while it feels like the state election on March 8 is a foregone conclusion, it will be interesting to see how many seats the opposition parties can wrestle off the Labor Government.

Can Roger Cook hang on to the support his predecessor had?

Will Basil Zempilas win the seat of Churchlands?

And will Labor lose control of the Upper House?

The ABC Radio Perth team has got your covered, with live coverage, when the polls close at 6.

Joining me in the ABC Radio Perth studio will be Drive Presenter, Gary Adshead as well as Federal Resources Minister, Madeleine King and Former Liberal Leader, Zak Kirkup.

We will bring you the results as they come with extended analysis from our expert team.

Mark Gibson, from the Breakfast show will be out and about speaking to some of the winners and losers.

So tune in for our comprehensive live coverage of the 2025 state election on March 8, from 6pm.
