The results shown are based on the Mackerras pendulum, where each division is assessed on a two party preferred basis, with data taken from the Australian Electoral Commission. This assessment is based on the size of the two party margin and allows each seat to be classified as marginal, fairly safe, safe, very safe or cross bench.

This map has been built using the d3.js framework. The Commonwealth electoral division mapping data was provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The political data is provided by the Australian Electoral Commission.
