The 8.33% quota shown above for a PR seat is almost twice as many votes as that shown above for a Winner-Take-All 50% (majority only) seat, so the House elected by PR gives effective representation to nearly twice as many Victorian voters as the House elected by the present Winner-Take-All system in single-vacancy Provinces.    Note: The 1996 component of the full Legislative Council was altered by the 1999 Ballarat Province by-election, which resulted in the change of the1996 seat from a Liberal to an ALP member.
