Battle for Lismore down to the wire

The NSW seat of Lismore continues to hang in the balance after Saturday's election.

Incumbent Nationals MP Thomas George leads Greens candidate Adam Guise by just over 300 votes after preferences with 83.6 per cent of votes counted, according to ABC figures released on Tuesday night.

Mr Guise had been ahead by 100 votes in the afternoon before Mr George pulled back ground.

Mr George has said the final result is unlikely to be known until after the Easter long weekend.

Meanwhile, a few hundred votes separate the Liberal and Labor candidates in The Entrance with 82.1 per cent counted.

The margin in Gosford is fewer than 40 votes with 83.6 per cent counted.
