VIC DIVISION - MCEWEN

This screen shows the results for a particular division. On this screen you will find...

• the number of votes and the percentage of the formal vote received by each candidate
• the swing as measured as the difference between the percentage of first preference votes received by a party candidate at this election and the percentage of the first preference votes received by that party's candidate in the comparable polling places at the previous election
• the two-candidate-preferred results showing the percentages received for this election, the corresponding percentages received for the last election, and swing.

1. The above tally does not correspond with the tally set out in paragraph 84 of the reasons for judgment of the Court of Disputed Returns in Mitchell v Bailey (No.2) [2008] FCA 692. The reasons for this being that the Court was unable to determine which candidate had been allocated the preference in three of the ballot-papers which were found to be informal by the Court, although the AEC was aware that all three preferences from those ballot-papers had been allocated to Mr Mitchell. Also, in relation to one other ballot-paper, the Court treated it as having been wrongly rejected in the re-count when it had in fact been admitted. The result on the tally as calculated by the Court is a net reduction in Mr Mitchell's count by four votes, leading to a final two party preferred majority of 31 votes for Ms Bailey.
2. These results are final.
