In short:

The federal election will be called tomorrow for May 3, the ABC has confirmed.

It triggers a five-week campaign to convince voters whether Labor under Anthony Albanese or the Coalition under Peter Dutton is most fit to lead the country.

What's next?

The prime minister will head to government house tomorrow morning to call the election.
