Key Senate crossbencher Bob Day is confident his High Court challenge against laws changing the way Australians elect senators has merit.

The High Court on May 2 will hear the challenge against the laws which make it more difficult for micro-party candidates to be elected.

"There's certainly never been a more exciting time to be a crossbencher," the Family First senator told ABC TV on Sunday.
