Tens of thousands of Tasmanians are voting in the Legislative Council elections for two seats: Huon and Rosevears. The outcome may impact the decision on banning greyhound racing, with the government delaying the upper house vote until later in May. The Legislative Council is dominated by independents, who hold eight of the 15 seats. In Huon, incumbent Dean Harriss is contesting the seat against Clare Glade-Wright, who is championing a program to clean up waterways and a rule change for tiny homes. The elections are being held on a rotating basis, with each upper house member elected for a six-year term.
