Another collection of micro parties will take control of the new Legislative Council, winning up to six seats from the Coalition, on figures posted late Saturday night.

With roughly a third of the vote counted, the Shooters Party appeared set to take seats off the Coalition in all three country regions, even though it won only 2 or 3 per cent of the vote in each.

As in last year's federal Senate election, minor parties organised their preferences to elect at least one of their group in most of Victoria's eight regions, based on calculations using ABC analyst Antony Green's Senate calculator.

The Shooters appear likely to win seats in Eastern Victoria, with 2.6 per cent of the vote, Northern Victoria (3.5 per cent), and Western Victoria (2.4 per cent). In each case, the seats have been taken from the Coalition, with MPs Andrew Ronalds and David O'Brien among the losers.
