Compare with 2025
Cobar in 2025 has the same AEC polling-place ID.
The ID, name, electorate and address match, and coordinates are within 100 metres. This supports a location comparison, not a claim that the same people voted. Redistribution can still alter the surrounding electorate; candidates and parties can change.
Labor TPP: 37.48% in 2025 and 34.36% in 2022; -3.11 percentage points (2022 minus 2025). Each uses that election’s formal-vote denominator.
Use each election’s candidate tables for first preferences and TCP; differing candidate pairs are not a continuous candidate series.
