Two Party Preferred Vote
The purpose of the two party preferred vote is to show by electoral district, and for the State as a whole, how the notional distribution of preferences was divided between the Labor/Country Labor and the Liberal/Nationals parties, taking into account the preference for these parties shown by people who voted first for minor parties or independents.
The two party preferred vote is obtained for information purposes only. It provides a measure of the support for the parties most likely to form government. The two party preferred vote does not alter the result of the election in any electoral district.
The two party preferred vote was calculated in the following way:
A notional distribution of preferences was conducted in all districts between the two candidates considered prior to election day as most likely to be the two final candidates after preferences were distributed. In the majority of cases one of those two candidates was from the Labor/Country Labor party and the other from the Liberal/Nationals party, and in most cases these proved to be the final two candidates. In these cases this notional count on election night constituted the two party preferred count.
In cases where the two selected candidates proved to not be the two final candidates, or where one or both of the two selected candidates was from a minor party or an independent, a further notional count was conducted between the two candidates from the Labor/Country Labor and the Liberal/Nationals parties.
The two party preferred vote for the State as a whole was 52.26% Labor/Country Labor and 47.74% Liberal/Nationals. This distribution was not uniform throughout the State.
