The 2024 Australian Capital Territory general election will be held on or before Saturday 19 October 2024 to elect all 25 members of the unicameral ACT Legislative Assembly.[1]
The incumbent Labor–Greens Coalition government, currently led by Chief Minister Andrew Barr, will attempt to win a seventh term against the Liberal opposition, currently led by Elizabeth Lee, who will seek to form government for the first time in 23 years. Lee is the first Asian Australian leader of a state or territory opposition.[2][a]
The leaders of all three parliamentary parties are from the same seat (the inner-city seat of Kurrajong); indeed, Lee is the only Liberal member representing the seat.
The Labor Party, led by Chief Minister Andrew Barr, is attempting to win re-election for a seventh consecutive term (either with a majority of seats or via forming a coalition with another party) in the 25-member unicameral Legislative Assembly. Labor formed a coalition government with the Greens after the last election, and together the two parties hold 16 of the 25 seats in the Assembly. Leader of the Opposition and Liberals leader Alistair Coe was replaced by Elizabeth Lee following the election.
On 12 November 2023, Greens Johnathan Davis resigned from parliament and as a member of the Greens. He was replaced by Laura Nuttall after a countback was conducted.[3]
The election will be conducted by the ACT Electoral Commission. All members of the unicameral Assembly face re-election, with members being elected by the Hare-Clark systemofproportional representation. The Assembly is divided into five electorates with five members each:
