Here's who appears at this stage to be in and out, as of the latest count. Keep in mind the ACT's Hare-Clark voting system means that preference flows can mean some of these results will change as the count continues.
Preferences flows were updated at 7pm on Wednesday, and there were two changes to the expected lineup, with two Labor candidates missing out on the fifth seat in Ginninderra and Brindabella. Counting is continuing, though, so these seats are not finalised. There were no changes in the other seats.
Liberal Vicki Dunne (Ginninderra) and the Greens' Caroline le Couteur (Murrumbidgee) retired and did not contest the election.
In the Tuggeranong-based seat of Brindabella, The Greens' Johnathan Davies is now 13 votes ahead of Labor's Taimus Werner-Gibbings. One of them is likely to replace the Liberals' Andrew Wall.
In the Belconnen-based seat of Ginninderra, the Liberals Peter Cain has overtaken Attorney-General Gordon Ramsay and now has a 100-vote lead. The Greens' Jo Clay is likely to replace Mrs Dunne.
In the Gungahlin-based Yerrabi, the Greens' Andrew Braddock is likely to pick up a seat at the expense of Labor's Deepak Raj Gupta, who joined the Assembly last year as a replacement for Meegan Fitzharris. The Liberals' Leanne Castley is likely to take the seat of sitting MLA James Milligan, although the Liberals' strong showing in this seat could mean Mr Braddock ends up missing out instead.
In the Woden and Weston Creek-based Murrumbidgee, Green Emma Davidson is set to retain Ms le Couteur's seat, while Labor's Marisa Paterson is likely to oust colleague Bec Cody.
In the central seat of Kurrajong, the Greens are set to pick up a second seat, for Rebecca Vassarotti, at the expense of the Liberals' Candice Burch.
The complexity of the Hare-Clark system, and the fact there are still roughly 15 per cent of the votes yet to be counted, mean the faces below could well change in coming days.
