In the Molonglo table the elimination of the bottom eight candidates was done in one hit. They were (with first preference in brackets): Middleton 56, Weston 156, Dellit 191, De Luca 259, Slazenger, 329, Zamora (Lab) 436, Boland 244, and Dunstone (MI) 555. Where a candidate is shown as “”out” in the left column, the preferences are distributed along that row, with a new total in the next row down. Where a candidate is elected at a new row that is noted. About a score of votes in each electorate were lost through fractions when over-quota votes were distributed. Exhausted votes are those that show no live preferences at that count. The quotas for each electorate were Molonglo 8430, Brindabella 8317 and Ginninderra 7990. The quota is obtained by dividing the number of formal votes by one more than the number of seats and adding one. In Molonglo that is one-eighth of the vote plus one. (If seven candidates got exactly this many it would be impossible for an eighth candidate to get more than them.)
