Notes
In 1916 and 1917 the Territory for the Seat of Government was the official name for what is now the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). Residents of the Territory were disenfranchised in 1911 but legislation passed by the Commonwealth enabled them to register to vote in the conscription referenda.
