About elections in Australia
I'm Bartłomiej Paruzel, and I built ElectioMap to map national elections around the world. This is the Australia hub on ElectioMap — it brings together the 8 Australia elections I cover, each with the official results, vote and turnout shares to two decimal places, and an interactive map you can explore region by region.
Australia is a federal parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy, and one of the world's oldest continuous democracies, having federated as the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. Its system fuses the British Westminster tradition with elements borrowed from the United States: a bicameral federal Parliament in Canberra consisting of the monarch (represented by the Governor-General), a 151-member (150 from the 2025 redistribution) House of Representatives, and a powerful 76-member Senate. The party or coalition that commands the confidence of the House forms government and its leader becomes prime minister; a majority requires 76 of the 150–151 House seats. Australia is distinctive for two features that shape every election: compulsory voting, in force federally since 1924, which pushes turnout above 90% and produces broadly representative results; and full-preference instant-runoff voting in the House, under which voters rank every candidate so that the eventual winner of each single-member electorate has majority support after preferences are distributed. Because of preferences, the most-watched figure is the two-party-preferred (TPP) vote — the final share between Labor and the Coalition — which often diverges from the first-preference (primary) vote and is the truest guide to who governs. The Senate is elected separately by proportional single transferable vote, with each state returning twelve senators (six elected at each ordinary half-Senate election for six-year terms) and each territory two; this proportionality gives minor parties and independents a far larger presence in the upper house, where the balance of power usually rests outside the major parties. Federal politics is dominated by two blocs: the centre-left Australian Labor Party (ALP), and the permanent Coalition of the centre-right Liberal Party and the rural National Party (joined in Queensland as the Liberal National Party and in the Northern Territory as the Country Liberal Party). Beyond them, the Australian Greens hold inner-city and progressive support, while a varied crossbench of independents — most strikingly the climate-focused "teal" independents who captured affluent former-Liberal seats in 2022 — and minor parties such as Pauline Hanson's One Nation and the Jacqui Lambie Network have become entrenched features of the system. Since 2016 government has changed hands twice: Malcolm Turnbull narrowly held office for the Coalition in 2016, Scott Morrison won a surprise re-election in 2019, and Anthony Albanese led Labor to government in 2022 and to a landslide re-election in 2025, by which point the combined major-party vote had fallen to record lows and the crossbench had grown to its largest size in the nation's history. Elections are run on a Saturday by the independent, non-partisan Australian Electoral Commission (AEC), which publishes official results at results.aec.gov.au. This page collects Australian federal election results since 2016 — for both the House of Representatives and the Senate — each with an interactive map of results by state and territory.
Each election listed here has its own page with the full breakdown by party or candidate and an interactive map of the result.
Every figure on ElectioMap is taken from the official electoral authority for Australia — the national election commission or equivalent body that certifies the count. I enter vote and turnout percentages exactly as published, to two decimal places and without rounding, and show seat totals wherever a chamber is being filled. When ElectioMap covers an election live, the page updates automatically as official figures are released. For the full sourcing and update policy, see Data & Methodology and the Editorial Policy.
