The paper contains summary tables for both the Senate and the House of Representatives together with details for each House ofRepresentatives Electoral Division. The Regional and Party Status classifications used in the paper are the same as those used by the Australian Electoral Commission. Party Status is determined by the two party preferred vote at the 1990 elections adjusted for the effects ofthe 1991 Redistribution in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory. Electoral Divisions are classified according to the swing required for the party holding the Division to lose: "Safe" requires a swing ofover 10%; "Fairly Safe" requires a swing of 6% to 10%; "Marginal" requires a swing of less than 6%. Thus in Table 4 "Total ALP" shows the seats won and votes received by parties in Divisions classified as being held by the ALP before the 1993 election. Of these Divisions 71 were won by the ALP, 5 by the LP, 2 by the NP and 1 by Others, giving 79 Divisions in this category. In all tables first preference votes obtained by each candidate or party are expressed as a percentage of formal votes, formal and informal votes are expressed as a percentage oftotal votes and total votes are expressed as a percentage ofelectors enrolled. Final count votes and two party preferred votes are expressed as a percentage offormal votes less exhausted votes (exhausted votes are votes that show a clear first preference but do not show a clear subsequent preference, thus cannot be directed to candidates remaining in the count). The "Swing" figures compare votes obtained at the 1993 election with votes obtained at the 1990 election adjusted for the effects of the 1991 Redistribution. For detailed Electoral Division tables swing percentages will not necessarily add to zero because of the different range of candidates at the 1993 election compared with the 1990 election.

  • Your Enrollment As a Voter
    YOUR ENROLLMENT AS A VOTER When you register to vote, you may choose to enroll in a political party or political designation or may choose to remain “unenrolled,” which is commonly referred to as independent. Choosing to Enroll in a Political Party: There are two political parties in Massachusetts: Democratic Party (D), (617) 776-2676 Republican Party (R), (617) 523-5005 If you enroll in either of these two parties you may vote only in that party’s primary. Enrollment in a political party does not affect your right to vote in the general election. In the general election, all voters receive the same ballot and vote for the candidate of their choice, regardless of party enrollment. Choosing No Enrollment in a Political Party: If you do not wish to enroll in a party, check the box next to “No Party (unenrolled)” on the voter registration form. If you do not enroll in a party, you may still vote in state and presidential primaries by choosing a party ballot and will remain unenrolled, which is commonly referred to as “independent.” Choosing to Enroll in a Political Designation: In addition to the two “political parties” listed above, there are certain legal political designations in which you can enroll. Currently these are: Conservative Party (A) Prohibition Party (P) Natural Law Party (B) American Independent Party (Q) New World Council (C) Socialist (S) Reform Party (E) Interdependent 3rd Party (T) Rainbow Coalition (F) America First Party (V) Green Party USA (G) Veterans Party America (W) We the People (H) Pirate (X) Constitution Party (K) World Citizens Party (Y) Green-Rainbow (J) Working Families (Z) Libertarian Party (L) Pizza Party (AA) Timesizing Not Downsizing (M) American Term Limits (BB) New Alliance Party (N) United Independent Party (CC) Massachusetts Independent Party (O) If you enroll in any political designation you may not vote in any state or presidential primary.
