The next Australian federal election will be held on or before 20 May 2028 (for the House and half the Senate) or on before 23 September 2028 (for just the House) or on or before 18 March 2028 (for the entirety of both houses) to elect members of the House of Representatives and half of the Senate to the 49th Parliament of Australia.
It is expected that the incumbent Labor majority government, led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, will seek a third three-year term in government. They are expected to be challenged by the Liberal–National Coalition, led by opposition leader Sussan Ley. It is expected that the Australian Greens, Pauline Hanson's One Nation, and other minor parties and independents will contest the election.
Australia has compulsory voting, with preferential instant-runoff voting in single-member seats.
