The following is a forecast for the 2025 Federal Election based on a predictive model developed by Social Change Media.
The model is based on historical swing variations across states and seats with major independent challenges over the last 6 elections. The model also incorporates the potential for polling error, similar in scale to the polling error of the 2019 Federal Election.
See the 2025 Federal Election Forecast Model Primer for a full explanation of the model.
