Corrections: There was an inconsistency in the results for this electorate between the primary votes based on the booth totals, and the primary votes used for the distribution of preferences. Based on the booths, the primary votes were Meers 1910, Page 13481, Kristofferson 515, Davidson 11279 and Sekers 286. However, the totals used in this database are based on the primary votes used for the distribution of preferences. Hughes and Aitkin (1987) have adopted the same primary vote totals.
