A federal election was held on Saturday, 23 September 2073 to elect the members of the 30th Parliament of Craftia. The incumbent centre-left National United Party government, led by Prime Minister Lewis Terrys, defeated the opposition centre-right Craftian Conservative Party, led by Opposition Leader Barry Barnsworth, becoming the third government to win a third term after the United Government of 2019–2028 and Liberal Government of 2040–2049.
The United Party was reelected to a third term in office after forming a coalition with the Liberal Party of Craftia, forming a majority with 84 seats (a reduced majority of 7 seats), down from 94 in the previous parliament. The Craftian Reform Party made large gains in this election at the expense of the major parties. The CRP's share of the popular vote (12.77%) and number of seats (20) was the party's best result since 2040.
