Note: Seats which changed party hands at a by-election are
highlighted. By the time of the Grampians by-election of 1917, the Liberal
Party had effectively been subsumed by the Nationalist Party. Hence, this
by-election is not regarded as an occasion when the division changed parties.
For votes received in each contest, see Appendix 2.
