Use of Group Voting Ticket

Explanatory Notes: This table shows : • The number of first preference votes, by State, Territory and nationally, marked above the line. In voting above the line, electors chose to vote by placing a number 1 in one box above the line. Preferences were then distributed according to the voting ticket, lodged with the AEC, by the group or ungrouped candidate. If a group did not lodge a voting ticket, preferences were distributed to the candidates in that group, in the order in which they appeared on the list of candidates, and to no other candidates. If an ungrouped candidate did not lodge a voting ticket it was taken that the candidate wished electors to express a first preference only. • The number of first preference votes, by State, Territory and nationally, marked below the line. In voting below the line electors chose to place the candidatefor identification number, of the candidate of their first choice, in the box marked 1st preference, the candidate identification number of the candidate of their second choice, in the box marked 2nd preference and so on. Electors had to complete at least the 1st preference box and then as many of the remaining boxes as they wished. • The above the line and below the line votes expressed as a percentage of the total formal votes counted • The total number of formal votes counted for each State and Territory and nationally only State or Territory Above the line Below the line Total Formal Votes % Votes % Votes 1997 Constitutional Convention Election Report and Statistics New South Wales 1413467 84.8 253749 15.2 1667216 Victoria 1238410 83.9 238454 16.1 1476864 Queensland 801689 85.0 141358 15.0 943047 WesternArchived Australia 414766 88.5 53786 11.5 468552 South Australia 410788 90.1 45309 9.9 456097 Tasmania historical134955 87.3 19684 12.7 154639 Australian Capital Territory 89768 84.2 16855 15.8 106623 Northern Territory 35660 90.2 3867 9.8 39527 NATIONAL 4539503 85.4 773062 14.6 5312565 research The Australian Electoral Commission’s
