Federal- and state-level election data used by the Senate and House of Representatives election results lookup systems is now available in CSV (Comma-Separated Values) format.

The data files (two per federal election, one for the Senate and another for the House of Representatives) consist of the following columns, unless otherwise indicated:

  • State
  • Election - Senate or House of Representatives
  • First Preference Votes (F) or Two-Party Preferred Vote (T) - House of Representatives only
  • Party or Election Statistic
  • Votes, Voters or Electors
  • Percent
  • Seats

The election statistics come from official reports and data files issued by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) and the Parliament of Australia's Parliamentary Library. Note that 2010 election figures are now final.
