Who are the candidates in my electorate?

The 2022 Federal Election is getting closer and closer, so it’s time to check which electorate you’re in and find out who will be on your ballot. 

Enter your suburb or post code here on the Australian Electoral Commission’s (AEC) website to find your electorate’s candidates in the order they will be listed on your House of Representatives (lower house) ballot on polling day.

For example, the YACSA office address is 4/182 Victoria Square, Adelaide which puts us in the electoral district of Adelaide. Voters in the Adelaide electorate will have their candidates in this order on their ballots: 

Under this you’ll find the Senate (upper house) candidates for SA as well.
