Election figures

1987 (11 July)

Note: From 1987, the Australian Electoral Commission began to provide figures for the two party preferred vote in each electorate, distributing all preferences even when the outcome of the election did not require a distribution. The 1987 result in Fremantle for example, was an absolute majority for John Dawkins but the outcome after the distribution of preferences is also provided.
