The Next Queensland state election will elect members of the Legislative Assembly and must be held by a maximum of three years from the first sitting of the new parliament. All seats in the Legislative Assembly whose current members were elected at the 2009 election will become vacant. Queensland uses Optional Preferential Voting. The election will be conducted by the Electoral Commission of Queensland, an independent body answerable to Parliament.
[edit] PartiesThe Labor Party, led by Premier Anna Bligh, and the Liberal National Party, led by Opposition Leader John-Paul Langbroek, are the two main parties in Queensland. In the 2009 state election, of 89 seats total, Labor won 51 seats, the Liberal Nationals won 34 seats, with four seats held by independents. [edit] DateIn Queensland, for the government to serve a full-term, an election must be held by a maximum of three years from the first sitting of the new parliament. The previous state election was held on 21 March 2009 to elect the 89 members of the Legislative Assembly. In Queensland, Section 80 of the Electoral Act 1992 states that an election must be held on a Saturday; and that the election campaign must run for a minimum of 26 or a maximum of 56 days following the issue of the writs. Five to seven days following the issue of the writs, the electoral roll is closed, which gives voters a final opportunity to enrol or to notify the Electoral Commission of Queensland of any changes in their place of residence.[3] [edit] References[edit] External links
