Introduction

This paper contains a statistical analysis of the Victorian Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council elections held on 30 March 1996. The paper also shows the results of Legislative Assembly and Council By-elections held between the 1992 and 1996 general elections.

In all tables, first preference votes obtained by each candidate or party are expressed as a percentage of formal votes, formal votes and informal votes are expressed as a percentage of total votes, and total votes are expressed as a percentage of electors Enrolled. Final count votes and two party preferred votes are expressed as a percentage of formal votes less exhausted votes.

The 'swing' figures compare votes received at the 1996 election with votes obtained at the 1992 election. For detailed Electoral District and Province tables (Tables 3and 9) the swing percentages will not necessarily add to zero because of the different range of candidates at the 1996 election compared with the 1992 election.

The Legislative Council consists of 44 members representing 22 constituencies. Each constituency has two members, one member elected at each election for a term equal to two Assembly terms. In the detailed Electoral Province tables (Table 9) the sitting member indicator refers to the member elected at the 1988 election while the swing figure refers to the percentage swing from the 1992 election.
