Liberal candidate Pru Goward remained confident of winning the close-fought count for Goulburn, with a lead of 322 votes at the close of counting yesterday.
With counting to resume on postal and absentee votes on Thursday, a result is not likely to be known until Friday or even Monday.
The result is based on notional preferences, with a full distribution of preferences still to be tallied.
Ms Goward said yesterday that while she was not willing to claim victory, she was feeling "relaxed and confident".
