About this election
How the vote works
The House is elected by compulsory, full-preference instant-runoff voting in 151 single-member electorates; 76 seats are needed for a majority. The election was the first held under Scott Morrison's full term and came after a turbulent period dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2019–20 bushfires and rising cost-of-living pressures. The simultaneous half-Senate election is covered on the companion Senate page.
