* AURIN has spatially enabled the data using [locations of polling places](https://results.aec.gov.au/20499/Website/Downloads/GeneralPollingPlacesDownload-20499.csv).

* AURIN has calculated the polling booth vote percentages for each party and included them in this dataset.

* Where multiple independent candidates were running for election in the same seat, their votes have been summed in this dataset and their swing percentages have been excluded.

* A first preference vote is where the voter has given that party's candidates a number 1 on the ballot paper.
