Candidates
Crisafulli began announcing LNP candidates 18 months prior to the election, making the LNP the first party to formally endorse candidates for the election.[12] The LNP announced several other candidates afterwards. The second party to formally endorse a candidate was Katter's Australian Party (KAP), announcing Bruce Logan as their candidate for the Far North Queensland seat of Cook on 6 October 2023.[13] Logan would later withdraw from the race, citing family issues and property damage arising from Cyclone Jasper.[14] Names of incumbent MPs who are contesting are highlighted in bold.
