The First Chamber was elected indirectly by county councils and specified city councils or electors. Recorded votes, where available, are electoral-college ballots, not a national popular vote. Vote shares are calculated from the published valid electoral-college total. Turnout among the general electorate is not applicable. The table counts only the mandates selected in this election; continuing senators are excluded. Previous seats, where shown, refer to the corresponding outgoing cohort, not the full chamber. Colours are a display palette.
