Labor

Elected Premier

TBD

The next Queensland state election is scheduled to be held on Saturday 31 October 2020 to elect the 57th Parliament of Queensland, including all 93 seats in the Legislative Assembly. The two-term incumbent Labor government, currently led by Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, will attempt to win a third four-year term and will be challenged by the Liberal National opposition.

Queensland has compulsory voting and uses preferential ballot in single-member seats for the assembly. The election will be conducted by the Electoral Commission of Queensland (ECQ).

Date of Election

The election will be for all 93 members of the Legislative Assembly. Pursuant to Constitution (Fixed Term Parliament) Amendment Act 2015 Queensland has had fixed terms, with all elections following this election held every 4 years on the last Saturday of October. The Governor may call an election earlier than scheduled if the Government does not maintain confidence, or the annual appropriation bill fails to pass.

Previous election

Opinion polling

Several research, media and polling firms conduct opinion polls during the parliamentary term and prior to the state election in relation to voting. Most firms use the flow of preferences at the previous election to determine the two-party-preferred vote; others ask respondents to nominate preferences.
