Polls open for Tasmanian election

Polls have opened in the Tasmanian state election.

More than 360,000 Tasmanians will vote in 305 polling places as far flung as King Island in Bass Strait.

Voters will elect a 25-seat House of Assembly, with the state's Hare-Clark system delivering five members from each electorate.

They will form the state's 48th parliament.

Seven parties will field 126 candidates across the state's five electorates - Bass, Braddon, Denison, Franklin and Lyons.

Voting closes at 6pm (AEDT).
