Federal Election Results
The 2007 Federal election resulted in a win for the Australian Labor Party. Polling was held on Saturday 24 November 2007, with a total of 12,930,814 votes being cast. Nationally, 94.8% of registered voters actually voted. The highest voter turnout was in the Australian Capital Territory (95.9%) and the lowest was in the Northern Territory (86.5%). The South Australian voter turnout was 95.4% and the three electoral divisions which cover the City of Onkaparinga had an average voter turnout of 95.9%.
The City of Onkaparinga includes the electorates of Boothby, Kingston and Mayo. The boundaries of these electorates extend beyond Onkaparinga, so the number of voters shown does not equal the total number of voters in the city.
