BY-ELECTIONS

Two by-elections were held during the 46th Parliament:

1. Mike Kelly, ALP member for Eden-Monaro, NSW, resigned on April 30, 2020. At the by-election on July 4, 2020, Kristy McBain retained the seat for the ALP.

2. John McVeigh, LNP member for Groom, Qld, resigned on September 18, 2020. At the by-election on November 28, 2020, Garth Hamilton retained the seat for the LNP.

On February 23, 2022, the ALP member for Spence, Nick Champion, resigned, in order to nominate for election to the South Australian House of Assembly seat of Taylor at the March 19 state election. Because of the timing, there was no chance of a by-election being held before the federal election.
