With the campaign in full swing, each night at 6.00pm 9News journalists are keeping the people of Sydney informed about the issues that matter, cutting through the spin and helping voters understand what the parties are promising.

Overton will be joined by Liz Daniels (9News State Political Reporter), Chris O’Keefe (2GB Drive Host) and Alexandra Smith (Sydney Morning Herald State Political Editor) as they break down the debate and unpack the key takeaway points for voters. 

On Saturday, March 25, the 9News rolling election night coverage starts at 5.00pm AEDT on Channel 9 and 9Now with breaking news and interviews from the polling booths.
