This table reports first preferences only. The elected-candidate marker reflects the final result, so the first-preference leader need not be the winner. Later counts redistribute the same ballots and are not added to first preferences or recorded as another polling round. Jim Gavin stopped campaigning before polling but remained on the ballot; his 103,568 valid votes are included. The official poll was 1,656,436, including 213,738 invalid ballots.
