The figures gave Ms Richards a total of 50.08 per cent of the vote, and Ms Templeman 49.92 per cent.
Ms Richards had started the day with just a 50-vote lead, and the AEC started counting around 3,800 absentee votes yesterday afternoon.
Both candidates maintain the seat is still too close to call, and counting is due to resume today (Wednesday).
