This website is in imminent danger of being shut down. It has been online since 1995, but the personal circumstances of the owner, Malcolm Farnsworth, are such that economies have to be made. Server costs and suchlike have become prohibitive. At the urging of people online, I have agreed to see if Patreon provides a solution. More information is available at the Patreon website.

Senate Election Results

Senate elections are usually held concurrently with House of Representatives elections.

However, Senate-only elections have been held in 1953, 1964, 1967 and 1970. House-only elections have been held in 1929, 1954, 1963, 1966, 1969 and 1972.

Because senators serve six-year terms with half of the senators in each state facing the electorate every three years, each Senate poll is a half-Senate election.

The only exceptions to this have been the double dissolution elections of 1914, 1951, 1974, 1975, 1983 and 1987. In these elections, the Senate was dissolved with all places in each state and territory up for election. To restore the rotation of elections, half of the senators served three-year terms, whilst the other half served six-year terms.
