Tasmania appears set for another minority Liberal government but the party must secure the support of left-leaning independents to rule.

Saturday's snap poll, called after Premier Jeremy Rockliff lost a vote of no-confidence in June just 16 months after the previous election, has returned a very similar parliament.

The Liberals picked up a 3.5 per cent swing with counting continuing on Saturday night, with Labor losing about three per cent of their vote.
