THE wafer-thin margins in the West Australian senate race should be finalised on Wednesday, with Greens senator Scott Ludlam poised to lose his seat to the Palmer United Party.

According to the ABC vote tracker, Palmer candidate Zhenya Wang is on track to take a senate seat over Mr Ludlam.

The count for the election of WA's six senators will be completed at 11am (WST) on Wednesday, the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) has confirmed.

AEC's WA state manager Peter Kramer says only four per cent of voters had voted below the line in WA on polling day last month.

Counting at 2pm (WST) on Tuesday had the Greens polling 124,257 primary votes - almost twice the number earned by the Palmer United Party.

However, preference deals among micro-parties look set to deliver Mr Palmer a third senate seat, with Australian Sports Party candidate Wayne Dropulich in with a chance to take a shock seat.

There is a possibility a recount could be ordered for the WA senate seats.
