This table shows the number of seats won by each party at this election. Since this was
a double-dissolution election, seats are shown as long-term (terms to expire in 1956) 
and short-term (terms to expire in 1953), to give the total number of seats held by each 
party in the new Senate. 

The Liberals and the Country Party ran joint tickets. The Liberals elected 27 Senators
and the Country Party five.
