Following the close of nominations on Sunday, the Electoral Commission of Queensland announced 597 candidates across Queensland’s 93 electorates for the 2020 State general election.
Electoral Commissioner Pat Vidgen said this year’s election sees 144 more candidates than in 2017 which demonstrates a “strong contest of ideas” and a “vibrant democracy”.
Queenslanders can now find the candidates running in their electorate via the ECQ’s 2020 State general election webpage.
