Reporting and forecasting for Australian Federal Elections

This site, intended to make the data provided by the Australian Electoral Commission easier to access and interpret, was created by retired IBM IT specialist Howard Houliston, who now does volunteer IT work for the charity Pyrmont Cares and for the Jessie Street National Women's Library as well as doing statistical analysis for the Garvan Institute of Medical Research.

Forecast election results are essentially derived by applying swings to each individual polling place and aggregating the results.
