Prime Minister Scott Morrison is set to secure majority government with the Liberals expected to win several tight races, including Malcolm Turnbull's old seat of Wentworth.

While three seats are extremely close, the Australian Electoral Commission has awarded 77 seats to the Coalition which would give it a two-seat majority in the House of Representatives.
