Archive Database News
This Database was archived at the end of 2018 but its components continue to be enhanced and the website modified for ease of access.
A current project is to include brief notes and references for each Senate election result in the Senate National Summaries and to add active links to Glossary entries and online sources.
For example, the notes on the 1967 Senate election examine a period during which the Democratic Labor Party played a major role in enhancing the influence of the Senate.

The Australian Politics and Elections Database is being archived and no information will be added on elections or changes of government that occur after December 2018
Existing Database information on Australian elections and periods in government from 1856 to 2018 will continue to be upgraded with missing information and enhanced notes.
