This weekend marks 19 years in office for Labor, with three leaders over the period.

Alistair Coe, who has led the Liberals since soon after the 2016 election loss, spent the past week launching a series of social media stunts including donning boxing gloves, mirroring a tactic used by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. 

Since ACT self-government began in 1989, the Liberals have never won majority government. 

At the 2016 election, Labor received a tick more than 38 per cent of the primary vote, while the Liberals scored just less than 37 per cent and the Greens 10.3 per cent.

Two members are retiring at the poll - Liberal veteran Vicki Dunne and the Greens' Caroline Le Couteur.

Two other changes have occurred since the 2016 election - Liberal Steve Doszpot died in 2017 and was replaced by Candice Burch, while Labor's Meegan Fitzharris resigned in 2019, replaced by Deepak-Raj Gupta.
