Compare with 2022

Merewether Heights in 2022 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: 57.64% in 2022 and 61.49% in 2025; 3.85 percentage points (2025 minus 2022). 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.
