2025 Australian federal election

The **2025 Australian federal election** was held on 3 May 2025 to elect members of the 48th Parliament of Australia. All 150 seats in the House of Representatives and 40 of the 76 seats in the Senate were up for election.

The incumbent Labor government, led by Anthony Albanese, won re-election to a second term in office in a landslide victory, growing their parliamentary majority.

## Background

At the previous election, the three-term incumbent centre-right Liberal-National Coalition government, led by Prime Minister Scott Morrison, was defeated by the centre-left Labor Party, led by Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese. Albanese became the new Prime Minister. Morrison resigned as Liberal leader and was replaced by Peter Dutton, who became Opposition Leader, while Barnaby Joyce lost the National Party leadership to David Littleproud in a leadership spill.

### Redistribution

There will be a redistribution of the electoral divisions in three states before the election: New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia. Even though Australia's population has grown, New South Wales and Victoria have too many seats over the quota, so they will both have one less seat each, while Western Australia will gain an extra seat, meaning the House of Representatives will have 150 seats instead of 151. The Northern Territory will also have a redistribution, but there will still be two seats in the Northern Territory.

Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory will not undergo a redistribution until after this election.
