The 2010 Tasmanian state election was held on 20 March 2010 to elect members to the Tasmanian House of Assembly. The 12-year incumbent Labor government, led by Premier of Tasmania David Bartlett, won a fourth consecutive term against the Liberal opposition, led by Will Hodgman, after Labor formed a minority government with the support of the Greens. The election was conducted by the Tasmanian Electoral Commission, an independent body answerable to Parliament. As in past Tasmania state elections, the proportional Hare-Clark system was used to allocate the 25 seats in the House. The Commission announced that there were 357,315 enrolled electors at the close of rolls.〔(2010 House of Assembly electoral rolls closed ), ''Tasmanian Electoral Commission'', 22 February 2010〕 A total of 89 candidates nominated for election.〔(Candidates Announced ), ''Tasmanian Electoral Commission'', 5 March 2010〕 ==Dates== On 17 November 2008, David Bartlett announced his government's intention to pass legislation enacting fixed electoral terms for Tasmania, with the next election scheduled to be held on 20 March 2010.〔(Fixed term elections legislation ), Government of Tasmania, 17 November 2008.〕 It was noted by ABC election analyst Antony Green that the date was the same as the already-legislated South Australian election, and that this may have an effect on media coverage of both elections.〔Green, Antony: (Reprise: Fixed Term Parliaments for Tasmania ), Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 18 November 2010.〕 The draft legislation for the bill was referred to the Select Committee on the Working Arrangements of Parliament in October 2009, although Bartlett confirmed that the government was committed to the 20 March election date despite the fixed-term legislation not being enacted.〔(Select Committee Proposed for Fixed-Term Bill ), Government of Tasmania, 25 October 2009.〕 On 12 February 2010, the Premier visited the Governor of Tasmania, Peter Underwood, to request that he dissolve the House of Assembly and issue the writs for the election.
