Legislative Council
Sitting members are shown in bold text. Tickets that elected at least one MLC are highlighted in the relevant colour. Successful candidates are identified by an asterisk (*).
Half of the Legislative Council was not up for re-election. This included seven Labor members (John Graham, Courtney Houssos, Shaoquett Moselmane, Adam Searle, Walt Secord, Mick Veitch and Lynda Voltz), six Liberal members (John Ajaka, Lou Amato, Scott Farlow, Don Harwin, Shayne Mallard and Matthew Mason-Cox), three Nationals members (Ben Franklin, Trevor Khan and Bronnie Taylor), two Greens members (Cate Faehrmann and Justin Field), one Christian Democrats member (Fred Nile), one Shooters and Fishers member (Robert Borsak) and one Animal Justice member (Mark Pearson). Voltz and Franklin resigned to run for the Legislative Assembly, so their seats were vacant.
The Labor Party was defending five seats. The Liberal-National Coalition was defending eleven seats. The Greens were defending three seats. The Christian Democratic Party and the Shooters and Fishers Party were each defending one seat.[16]
