Note           For the 1993 and 1996 elections, an adjustment column is shown in this table. At these elections ballot papers for candidates were amalgamated for the whole division for rechecking and counting prior to the distribution and transfer of preferences. In some cases, this fresh scrutiny showed that an earlier count was in error. As it was not possible to identify where the error was made, the adjustment column accounts for these discrepancies between the earlier count and the final divisional total.
