This dataset provides the number of votes and the percentage of the first preference vote won by each of the parties in the 2016 federal election. The data also includes the first preferences swing by party - a comparison of the percentage of first preference votes for each party compared to the percentage of first preference votes received at the previous federal election. For more information please visit the Australian Electoral Commission. Please note:

AURIN has combined and re-structured the original state level data for "First preferences by candidate by polling place".

AURIN has spatially enabled the data using locations of polling places.

AURIN has calculated the polling booth vote percentages for each party and included them in this dataset.

Where multiple independent candidates were running for election in the same seat, their votes have been summed in this dataset and their swing percentages have been excluded.

A first preference vote is where the voter has given that party's candidates a number 1 on the ballot paper.
