The following tables show state-by-state results in the Australian Senate at the 2013 federal election.

Following a dispute of the results, the Western Australian results were declared void. The Western Australian senators were elected at the Australian Senate special election in Western Australia, 2014.

New senators took their places from 1 July 2014. This gave a Senate with the Coalition government on 33 seats, the Labor opposition on 25 seats, and a record crossbench of 18: ten Greens, three Palmer United, and single seats to the LDP's David Leyonhjelm, Family First's Bob Day, Motoring's Ricky Muir, and incumbents Nick Xenophon and the DLP's John Madigan.

This table includes votes and percentage from the 2013 election, but shows the seat allocation after the Australian Senate special election in Western Australia, 2014.
