This table shows the number of seats won by each party at this election, plus the seats
won in 1967, to give the total number of seats held by each party in the new Senate. 
Voting figures are compared with the 1967 Senate election. Thirty-two Senators were 
elected in 1970 because there were casual vacancies in NSW and Victoria.

The "Others" were independents.
