About this election
How the vote works
The House is elected from single-member electorates by compulsory, full-preference instant-runoff voting; the chamber had grown to 151 seats following a redistribution that added a seat in Victoria. As always, the decisive measure was the two-party-preferred vote between Labor and the Coalition after preferences. The number of seats needed for a majority was 76. The simultaneous half-Senate election (40 seats) is covered on the companion Senate page.
