Please note, the two-candidate preferred (2CP) count has been replaced by the preference distribution.

The 2CP count gives an early indication of the election results. It plays no role in deciding the actual election outcome. There may be minor changes as the results are rechecked and and preferences distributed.

Full preference distribution

This district would normally not require a full preference distribution because the elected candidate achieved an absolute majority before all or any preferences were distributed. In 2023, we conducted an indicative full preference distribution for information and statistical purposes.
