Electorates and candidates
An electorate is the local contest decided by your electorate vote. It is separate from the party vote that usually determines each party's overall share of seats.
The official candidate list is still pending
Parties may announce candidates before nominations close, but only the Electoral Commission's published list is treated as the complete official record.
PartyMap will add candidate-by-electorate coverage only after the official list is published.
Results and government formation
Election-night totals are preliminary. Special votes, validation, recounts and the official allocation of seats can change the final picture.
Preliminary results
Party vote, electorate vote and indicative seat totals will be recorded after voting closes on 7 November 2026. They will remain labelled preliminary.
Official results
The Electoral Commission is scheduled to declare official results on 27 November 2026 after special votes and formal checks are included.
Coalition and support agreements
PartyMap will track signed coalition, confidence and supply, or support agreements from official government and party publications. Negotiation reports will not be presented as settled agreements.
Promise-to-outcome ledger
The ledger begins with sourced promises already recorded in PartyMap. After the election, each entry can move only when an official agreement, Budget, bill, law or implementation record supports the change.
Published means the party made the promise. It does not mean the promise was funded, implemented, kept or broken.
