Labor seems likely to narrowly hold Eden-Monaro but the results of the by-election will hinge on preference flows from the enormous number of early voters.

With just over 50 per cent of the votes counted, Labor's Kristy McBain is slightly ahead on 52.8 per cent after projected preference flows.

Liberal candidate for Eden-Monaro Fiona Kotvojs votes at Jerrabomberra Public School polling station, north of Queanbeyan, NSW.
