Legislative Council

Following the 2021 state election, the McGowan Labor government introduced changes to the Legislative Council's voting system, removing the six multi-member electoral regions that had been in place since 1989.^[159][160] Beginning in 2025, all members are elected to a statewide constituency, increasing from 36 members to 37 members.^[161][162] The members are elected to a statewide electorate using single transferable voting and a quota of 1/37th (or 2.63%), replacing group voting tickets.^[163][164]

Incumbent members are shown in bold text. Successful candidates are highlighted in the relevant colour.
