Overview

The graphs below serve as an estimate of the possible outcomes for the Western Australia senate by-election. These numbers are drawn directly from the mediafeed provided by the AEC. The assumption used is that all primary votes above the line, all primary votes for the first candidate, and all unapportioned votes (for the party, but not yet distributed to a candidate or above the line) are considered "above the line" votes. For parties which break quota I will add in the second and third candidates as required.
