The 2026 Victorian state election is expected to be held on 28 November 2026 to elect the 61st Parliament of Victoria.[2] All 88 seats in the Legislative Assembly (lower house) and all 40 seats in the Legislative Council (upper house) will be up for election, presuming there are no new electorates added in a redistribution.

The Labor government, currently led by Premier Jacinta Allan, will attempt to win a record fourth consecutive four-year term against the Liberal/National Coalition opposition, currently led by Brad Battin.

The election will be administered by the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC).

The Daniel Andrews-led Labor government won power in 2014 after winning a majority of seats in the Legislative Assembly at the 2014 state election. Labor has been in government for all but one term since 1999. Andrews was re-elected at the 2018 state election and again at the 2022 state election, winning 56 seats. The Liberal/National Coalition gained one seat to 28 seats, the Greens won 4 seats. In the Legislative Council, the Labor party won 15 of the 40 seats.

Daniel Andrews announced his resignation as Premier and leader of the Victorian Labor Party at a press conference on 26 September 2023; a resignation that was formally effected the following day. This precipitated a leadership election within the Labor party-room, which was won unopposed by Deputy Premier Jacinta Allan following hours of intense negotiations between members of Labor's left and right factions. Allan, of the left, was elected leader, with right-faction member and Education Minister Ben Carroll as her deputy.[3] Allan became the second female premier in the state's history, following Joan Kirner's 1990–1992 premiership.[4] The government is seeking a fourth consecutive four-year term.

Following the Liberal/National Coalition's defeat, Opposition Leader and Liberal leader Matthew Guy announced in his post-election concession speech he would resign the leadership of the party. This ensured a leadership election was held for the position, at which newly elected member for Hawthorn John Pesutto defeated Brad Battin by one vote in a secret ballot of Liberal party-room MPs.[5]

Since the 2022 state election, and the January 2023 supplementary election in Narracan, there have been four by-elections: the August 2023 Warrandyte by-election, the November 2023 Mulgrave by-election, and the February 2025 Werribee and Prahran by-elections. In the first three cases, the incumbent's party successfully retained the seat; in Prahran, the incumbent Greens were defeated by the Liberal candidate.

Aside from this, the Assembly's composition has been altered by the removal of Will Fowles and Darren Cheeseman from the Labor caucus in October 2023 and April 2024 respectively, with both now sitting on the crossbench as "Independent Labor" MPs. The resignation of Sam Hibbins from the Greens on 1 November 2024 also resulted in his sitting on the crossbench as an Independent MP until resigning from Parliament on 23 November, resulting in the Prahran by-election.[6]

On 27 December 2024, a leadership spill resulted in Brad Battin replacing John Pesutto as leader of the Liberal/National Coalition.[7]

## Electoral system

[edit]

Eligible Victorian electors are required to cast a ballot due to compulsory voting laws. The eligibility criteria for enrolment to vote includes being 18 years or older, an Australian citizen, and to have lived in Victoria for longer than a month.[2]

### Legislative Assembly

[edit]

For the election of members to single seats of the Legislative Assembly, the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) uses full preferential voting where for a vote to count, it is required to number every box on the ballot in the order of the most preferred candidate for the particular electoral district an elector is registered to vote in.[8] The election will cover all 88 Seats of the Victorian Legislative Assembly.[9]

### Legislative Council

[edit]

For the election of members to multi-member state regions in the Legislative Council the VEC uses optional preferential voting where voters can either vote for a political party or a group voting ticket 'above the line' or vote for individual candidates 'below the line'.[8] Members of the Legislative Council represent state regions. There are currently eight state regions, they make up of eleven Legislative Assembly districts and are each represented by five members of Parliament in the Legislative Council.[10]

When voting 'above the line', for a vote to count, voters are required to write the number 1 for the political party or group of candidates they prefer. Preferences will then be automatically distributed based on the registered preference order provided to the VEC by the group voting ticket.[8]

When voting 'below the line', for a vote to count, voters are required to number a minimum of 5 boxes on the ballot in the order of their most preferred candidate.[8]

## Registered parties

## Candidates and retiring MPs

[edit]

The following members announced that they were not contesting the 2026 election:

### Liberal

[edit]

* Bill Tilley MLA (Benambra) – announced 13 March 2024 [13]

### National

[edit]

* Peter Walsh MLA (Murray Plains) – announced 26 November 2024[14]

## Date

[edit]

In accordance to the timetable set out in the Electoral Act 2002 (VIC), the terms of elected officials to Victorian Parliament are on a fixed term basis. All elections since the 2006 have occurred every four years on the last Saturday of November. Unless the Governor of Victoria unexpectedly dissolves parliament, the election is expected to be held on 28 November 2026.[15]

## Expected timeline of the election

[edit]

* 3 November 2026: The Legislative Assembly expires prompting the need for an election to be held. This also means that there are no longer any members, business of parliament ends until a new parliament is formed, and parliament enters into a caretaker period.[16]
* 3 November 2026: On the same day that the Legislative Assembly expires, the Governor of Victoria issues a writ for the VEC to hold an election.[15]
* 10 November 2026: 7 days after the writ is issued, at 8:00 pm, the electoral roll is closed meaning people can no longer be added to the electoral roll, update the electorate they live in, or update any other information.[15]
* 13 November 2026: 10 days after the writ is issued, at noon, the period for submitting candidate nominations closes.[15]
* 28 November 2026: The last Saturday of November, nearest to the fourth year following of the previous election date, is the Election Day.[15]
* 19 December 2026: Within 21 days following election day, the Electoral Commissioner returns the writ with information regarding the successful candidates.[15]

## Notes

[edit]

1. ^ Will Fowles and Darren Cheeseman have sat on the crossbench as Independent Labor MPs since 5 August 2023 and 29 April 2024 respectively.
2. ^ The election for the District of Narracan was deferred. A supplementary election was held on 28 January 2023.
3. ^ a b The Greens lost the seat of Prahran to the Liberal Party at a by-election on 8 February 2025.[1]
4. ^ In April 2024, Cheeseman was suspended from the Labor Party caucus. He still remains a rank-and-file member of the party.[17]
5. ^ Elected at the 2023 Mulgrave state by-election following the resignation of Daniel Andrews.
6. ^ The two-candidate-preferred result of the 2023 by-election was ALP 6.5% vs IND.
7. ^ Lister succeeded Pallas following the 2025 Werribee state by-election.
8. ^ While Lister retained Werribee for Labor on a margin of 0.8% at the 2025 by-election, he will go into the state election based upon the margin that the party had won at the 2022 election.
9. ^ Werner succeeded Smith following the 2023 Warrandyte state by-election.
10. ^ The two-candidate-preferred result of the 2023 by-election was LIB 21.0% vs GRN. However Labor did not contest the by-election, therefore the LIB vs GRN margin won't be the two-candidate-preferred margin for Warrandyte at the next state election, and therefore should not be used in the pendulum. The LIB vs ALP margin for Warrandyte at the 2022 state election is used instead.
11. ^ Due to the sudden death of Nationals candidate Shaun Gilchrist, the election in Narracan was deferred, and a  supplementary election was instead held on 28 January 2023.
12. ^ Elected following the 2025 Prahran state by-election.
13. ^ The two-candidate-preferred result of the 2025 by-election was LIB 1.4% vs GRN.
14. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l Resolve Strategic does not publish TPP figures.
15. ^ 14% for independents and 7% for "others".[22]
16. ^ 17% for independents and 6% for "others".[24]
17. ^ Legalise Cannabis 1%, Animal Justice Party 1%, independents 10.5%, Other parties 6.5%
18. ^ Legalise Cannabis 1.5%, Animal Justice Party 1.5%, independents 9%, Other parties 5%
