Labor suffered its worst result in a Tasmanian election, as the Liberal Party was swept to power after 16 years in Opposition.

With about 80 per cent of the vote counted, Labor has polled 27 per cent and secured just six of the 25 Lower House seats.

Will Hodgman was Australia's longest serving Opposition Leader, but he will now lead a majority Liberal government after the party won at least 14 seats.

The Greens suffered an 8 per cent swing against them and despite a big spending campaign, the Palmer United Party failed to win a seat.

Look back at how election night unfolded.
