?
Some state 2CP vote counts were not recorded in electorates where a majority of votes were achieved by one candidate. The vote counts provided are based on the 2CP percentage, meaning they are inaccurate to within 0.1% of the formal vote.
2CP (Two-candidate preferred) represents the percentage of formal votes
a candidate received after the distribution of preferences. All Australian states and self-governing territories use a
form of preferential voting for lower house elections, but it was not always so. Where there is no difference between the final
two candidates' votes and their primary votes, the value represented in the 2CP field
is instead the majority, which is the difference in votes between the winning candidate and the second candidate.
