Australian special federal election, 2017

The 2017 Australian special election was held on 4 February to elect all 210 members of the redistributed House of Representatives, and 24 Senators for the states of New Zealand and Darwin. Julie Bishop retained the Prime Ministership with the Liberal-National coalition, with the Liberals over taking the Labor Party for the most seats. A special election for the Senate and new New Zealand House of Represenative seats was called by the High Court following New Zealand's entry to the Commonwealth of Australia, and the Northern Territory's promotion to the state of Darwin, to elect a slate of 12 Senators for those states. Bishop asked the Governor-General to call to dissolve the entire House of Representatives to meet a new redistribution planned by the Australian Electoral Commission. With support from the Opposition, the election was called in October 2016 for the following February with the AEC confirming the redistribution in December 2016. The election was preceded by the 2016 election and followed by a regular election in 2020
