Candidates of the 2025 Australian federal election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2025 Australian federal election was held on 3 May 2025 to elect 150 seats of the House of Representatives and 40 out of the 76 Senate seats. At the election, the Albanese government was elected to a second term of government in a landslide victory, substantially increasing its majority in the Parliament of Australia.[1]
Nominations for candidates were closed on 10 April 2025, and the Australian Electoral Commission declared the nominations on 11 April.[2] 1,456 candidates (1,126 for the House of Representatives and 330 for the Senate) contested the election. 898 candidates were male, 547 were female and 11 unspecified.[3][4]
Retiring members
The seats of Hinkler (Queensland) and Maribyrnong (Victoria) were vacant at the time the federal election was called, following the resignation of Keith Pitt (Nationals) and Bill Shorten (Labor) on 19 and 20 January 2025 respectively. No by-elections were held for the seats due to their proximity to the general election.[5][6]

Notes
- Candidates in this group were endorsed by the Socialist Equality Party, which does not have registered party status but still ran candidates as independents.
- While 'Culleton' is the correct spelling of his name, a typo in his nomination documents led to 'Cullerton' being listed on the ballot.
- Bradlow and Bock intended to run as "job sharing candidates". The AEC stated they would be required to reject the nomination, as electoral law does not allow two people to share a nomination for one seat.
