THE number of missing votes from the Western Australian Senate election count is slightly lower than initially thought, the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) says.
The AEC on Friday released details of the voting preferences of the missing votes, which are the subject of an investigation by former federal police commissioner Mick Keelty.
In doing so, it found there were five fewer votes missing and revised the total figure to 1370.
The bulk of the preferences from the missing votes (886) were for the Liberal Party, while 164 were for Labor and 112 for the Greens.
None were cast for the Palmer United Party (PUP) or the Australian Sports Party (ASP).
The WA Senate result, as it currently stands - gives the Liberals three spots, Labor one, the Australian Greens one and the ASP one.
The AEC, Labor and PUP are now considering whether to petition the Court of Dispute Returns, which could order in a fresh WA Senate election.
Mr Keelty will visit Perth on Monday to start gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses.
The investigation is expected to take two weeks.
ABC election analyst Antony Green, who has a computer system which can calculate Senate results, said the missing preferences would change the election result.
Mr Green said if the preferences were included, the final two seats would go to Labor and the Palmer United Party by a single vote.
