Distribution of preferences in wide form for selected parties (2022 and 2025)

Wide-form versions of the Australian Federal Election distribution-of- preferences data, aggregated to selected parties within each electoral division and couting round. Each row gives the vote share for a set of parties and an "Other" category at a given count stage in a given division. These datasets are derived from aecdop_2022 and aecdop_2025 for ease of analysis and visualisation.
