A federal election was held on Saturday, 7 September 2052 to elect the members of the 23rd Parliament of Craftia.
The incumbent centre-right Craftian Conservative Party government, led by Prime Minister Mel Queanbeyan and supported by the Mojang Democratic Party, Craftian Reform Party, Republican Party of Craftia and Craftian Greens, was seeking a full term in office after replacing the Liberal Party of Craftia as the government following the 2050 Craftian constitutional crisis.
The Conservatives retained their first-place position, gaining 5 seats on a 3.7% swing, winning 48 seats. The opposition centre-left Liberal Party of Craftia, led by Louise Johnston, Leader of the Opposition, only lost 1 seat, totalling 35 seats. The election resulted in the most deadlocked parliament in recent history, despite minimal change from the previous election, with the Liberals and the centre-left National United Party refusing to form a coalition with each other due to inter-party conflict stemming from the Liberal–United split of 2050. The Conservative Party won a plurality of seats but still required at least 23 seats from other parties to secure a working majority, which eventually occurred after it formed a three-party coalition with the Mojang Democratic Party and Craftian Reform Party, and the confidence and supply of the Republican Party of Craftia and Craftian Greens. The six-parties together held 71 seats, a one seat majority over the opposition Liberals and United.
