THE ACT election photo-finish is still too close to call and the final makeup of the 17-member Legislative Assembly is little clearer.
As the count continues, Labor and the Liberals keep swapping positions as recipients of the most first-preference votes.
By Thursday evening, Labor had edged ahead again, but there were only 55 votes between the parties with just over 88 per cent of the total ballots counted.
The jostling for position also continues between the candidates as preferences are counted.
About a quarter of the preferences are still to be distributed in the electorates of Ginninderra and Brindabella.
In the larger electorate of Molonglo, only two-thirds of preferences have been distributed so far.
It still appears the two major parties will get eight seats each, with the Greens' Shane Rattenbury holding the final seat.
Based on the Thursday count update, Labor leader Katy Gallagher would be joined in parliament by incumbents Andrew Barr, Simon Corbell, Mary Porter, Chris Bourke and Joy Burch plus two newcomers Yvette Berry and Mick Gentleman.
The likely Liberal MLAs are leader Zed Seselja, incumbents Jeremy Hanson, Alistair Coe, Vicki Dunne and Brendan Smyth, and newcomers Giulia Jones, Elizabeth Lee and Andrew Wall.
Greens leader Meredith Hunter is falling behind Labor candidates in her seat of Ginninderra, while Liberal MLA Steve Doszpot appears to have been knocked out by fellow party candidates in Molonglo.
But ACT electoral commissioner Phil Green has said a final result won't be known before Saturday, with postal votes still able to arrive on Friday and preference counts continuing.
