Nice ABC let one of the local presenters do it this time round. For the last 2 elections, Greg Jennet presented it, and for many years prior Kerry O’Brien did it. Wonder if they will be in a studio this time as well? In 2020, the coverage was based from Sydney, with a panel in the Darwin news studio (using a modified desk), and in 2016 they did an OB at Parliament House. Earlier election were done in the tally room. ---

This year the NT election will be an outside broadcast. The previous election was restricted with COVID travel restrictions so was a Darwin/Sydney hybrid broadcast since the team could not travel into the NT. The 2024 election will be done from the Darwin Convention Centre / waterfront precinct. ---
