Summary of first preference votes by party tables show the number of votes cast for parties and other candidates by State, Territory and nationally.

Votes obtained by each party are expressed as a percentage of the total formal vote for the State or Territory. The number of formal and informal ballot papers are expressed as percentages of the total of number of votes cast for that State or Territory. This latter total (or the turnout) is expressed as a percentage of the State or Territory enrolment shown at the top of each table.

The enrolment figures shown in these tables give the number of electors entitled to vote in the 2 March election. These figures comprise close of rolls enrolment figures with subsequent adjustments such as in the case of the death of an elector or the reinstatement of an eligible elector previously removed from the roll by mistake.

The ‘swing’ column compares the percentage of the votes obtained by parties at 2 March 1996 Senate election with the votes obtained by parties at 13 March 1993 Senate election.
