Antony John Green (born 2 March 1960) is an Australian psephologist and commentator. He is the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's election analyst.
Born in Warrington, Cheshire in northern England, Green emigrated to Australia with his family in 1964. He attended James Ruse Agricultural High School in Sydney, graduating in 1977. Green graduated with a Bachelor of Science in mathematics and computing, and a Bachelor of Economics with honours in politics from the University of Sydney. He worked initially as a data analyst in the computing industry and for a polling company before joining the ABC in 1989.
Green first appeared on the ABC's election-night television coverage in the 1991 NSW general election, following with the federal election in 1993.
As of 2016[update] he had analysed over 60 Australian territory, state and federal elections for the ABC, starting with the 1989 Queensland state election to the 2016 federal election. He designed the computer system that he uses to predict election results based on partial counts.
As the ABC's Election Analyst, Green is responsible for the content of its election website. He also has editorial responsibility for its data analysis and for their election night results service. He is considered "the face of election night coverage".
In time for the 2013 federal election campaign, Green helped introduce the voter engagement tool Vote Compass to the ABC website. It enables voters to gauge how their views align with candidates based on party's statements on issues and also provides Green and other analysts a dataset larger than traditional opinion polls. Green also writes a comprehensive blog on electoral matters.
