Presented by John Campbell and Duncan Garner, the 3 News election special was watched by 23% more 25-54 year-olds than TV One.

TV3's coverage averaged a 9.0 rating and 27.5% share in the 25-54 demographic. In comparison, TV One's coverage averaged a 7.3 rating and a 22. 1% share.

TV3's election coverage was also first choice with younger viewers, dominating the 18-39 and 18-49 demographics.
