A 4.1-point swing to the Coalition would change 11 seats

Every seat where Labor and the Coalition were the final two in 2025, by how far the holder won on two-party-preferred. Our projection has the national two-party-preferred at Labor 51.1% (2025: 55.2%). On a uniform swing, every seat with a smaller margin than that swing changes hands. The seat forecasts themselves also allow for each state's swing and for independents.
