INTRODUCTION This paper contains a summary of the results of the 1996 elections for the Victorian Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council. It contains details of voting for all Assembly districts and Council provinces. Primary and two-party preferred counts are given for all electorates. The following paragraphs explain the format for the results.

First Count: The votes shown for each candidate are the total primary votes received. Percentage votes are calculated as a percentage of the formal vote for each electorate. Swing is calculated by subtracting the percentage vote received by a party at the 1992 election from the percentage received in 1996. Where the parties contesting the district differ from 1992, ghost candidates indicated by "...." have been included representing candidates not contesting the 1996 election. As a result, all primary swings add to zero, subject to rounding errors. Final Count: Represents the two-candidate preferred count after the final distribution of preferences in an electorate. All votes which did not indicate a preference to the two remaining candidate are included in the total listed as Exhausted. Two-candidate preferred percentages are calculated by dividing the two-candidate preferred vote by the votes remaining in the count, that is the formal votes minus the total exhausted votes. Two-candidate preferred swings are shown compared to the 1992 election. In the electorate of Mildura, won by an Independent, a two-candidate preferred count between the Independent and Liberal candidates is provided, as well as a two-party preferred count between the Liberal and Labor candidates. Note that in the detailed results, all swing figures are compared to the 1992 election. By-elections have been ignored. All figures are based on information provided by the Victorian State Electoral Office. However, responsibility for all calculations and omissions is taken by the author.
