Mr Herbert and Mr Peters are both young Tasmanians who tried to become more politically engaged during this year's campaign in order to make an informed choice on polling day.

Mr Herbert, 18, said he chose to vote for an independent in the House of Representatives.

In the Senate, he voted below the line preferencing the Greens and likely outgoing Labor senator Lisa Singh first, followed by the rest of the Labor candidates, with "the random parties, then the far-right ones at the very end."

Mr Herbert said he chose to vote for an independent in the lower house because the candidate's impartiality, and the fact they would not have to follow party lines, was a good thing.

He said he chose to vote for the Greens and Labor over independents in the Senate because he was unfamiliar with the independent Senate candidates.

"It very much depends on the independent," he said.

Mr Peters, 24, said he made his final choice to vote for the Labor party on the day of the election.

Prior to this, Mr Peters described himself as a "fence sitter" - undecided between the two major parties.

"I was undecided in the morning," he said.

"There was a comparison table of the policies on each sector (by party). With the policies side by side, I picked which one was right for me.

"It felt good to be able to go in and vote with a bit of confidence."

Both Mr Herbert and Mr Peters said they thought they would continue to engage with politics.

Mr Herbert said it would be interesting to see how everything pans out after the election.

"I always thought it was kind of hard to get into politics, because it's confusing. All it takes is a little bit of reading, I've discovered," Mr Herbert said.

Mr Herbert said his new political knowledge opened up more conversations for him.

"Previously when my more politically-inclined mates would chat I really couldn't give my input on anything. My opinion was "I don't really know" so I left it," he said.

Mr Peters said he enjoyed being better informed.

"Australians, in particular, have a "no worries" attitude towards politics," he said.

"Even though the Liberals won, obviously Australia wanted the Liberals in government, I'm interested to see what they do with it and if they keep their promises."

Mr Peters said he also enjoyed being able to have smart debates about politics with co-workers, family and friends.

"Before if someone spoke to me about politics, not that I wasn't interested, but I didn't really have an opinion," he said.

"Now I do have an opinion and I have things to say."
