This table provides the number and percentage of two candidate preferred (TCP) votes for candidates in a specific polling place. The data includes swing - the percentage of TCP votes received compared to the previous election.

Notes:

Two candidate preferred or TCP is a count of the two leading candidates only. Votes are recorded for a particular candidate if the preference on the ballot paper for that candidate is higher than the alternative TCP candidate, regardless of other preferences. The TCP count ultimately determines who wins the seat.
These results are not final.
