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 1979) 
and short-term (terms to expire in 1976), to give the total number of seats held by each 
party in the new Senate. Voting figures are compared with the 1970 Senate election.

The "Others" were one Liberal Movement and one independent.
