This is a list of Legislative Council results for the 2025 Western Australian state election.[7][8]

Following the 2021 state election, the McGowan Labor government introduced changes to the Legislative Council's voting system, removing the six multi-member electoral regions that had been in place since 1989.[9][10] Beginning in 2025, all members are elected to a statewide constituency, increasing from 36 members to 37 members.[11][12] The members are elected to a statewide electorate using single transferable voting and a quota of 1/38th + 1 (or 2.63%), producing a quota of 41,000 out of 1.6M valid votes, replacing group voting tickets.[13][14]
