The swing may have been attributable to him facing eight candidates for the seat compared with 2019 when faced opposition from six candidates representing the Labor Party, United Australia Party, Fraser Anning's Conservative National Party, The Greens, Christian Democratic Party and an Independent.
On Saturday Mr Taylor received 461 of the 999 votes lodged at the Boorowa Central School's polling booth.
This gave him 49.2 per cent of the vote but represented a 9.79 per cent swing against him from 2019 when he received 584 votes.
Despite the swing Mr Taylor holds a comfortable lead over Labor candidate Greg Baines, with 212 votes.
