Also between 1984 and 1996, votes which indicate a valid first preference but have two or more preferences equal further down the list count as formal first-preference votes, but their preferences are not distributed beyond the point where equal preferences are expressed. Some seats, especially in Queensland, are very difficult to classify. In seats where preferences were not distributed I have included an estimate of the two-party preferred vote. This estimate was, in general, derived from the average distribution of preferences from the party concerned in those electorates in the state that year where preferences were distributed. Except for some seats in 1993, results are given with candidates listed in the order in which they appeared on the ballot paper.
Results are also available sorted by year and state .
