The 2022 Victorian state election

This paper summarises the 2022 Victorian election and outcomes. It provides an overview of the 59th Parliament and election lead-up, including COVID-19 politics, leadership and integrity issues, retirements and preselections, and flood and cost-of-living crises—all of which shaped the election and the changes in the composition of the 60th Parliament. This is followed by a detailed analysis of the campaign, policies, polling, social media, results, and overviews of how the parties and media reflected on their election performance. Outgoing and incoming Members, women in Parliament, the Andrews ministry and further results conclude the paper.
