Internal Elections

Our party is run by members, for members. Whether it's our leader, members of Federal Committees or the teams that run your local party, everyone is elected by other members.

The last Federal Election was run in 2022. Information on candidates for those elections can be found here, and answers they've given to the RO's questions are here.

The next Federal Elections will take place in the latter part of 2025.
