The candidates of the 2024 Queensland state election vary and cover all ninety-three electorates in all of the state's regions. A total of 525 candidates from nine political parties (or independent) contested the election. It is the second-most contested election by nominated candidates in Queensland history, behind the previous election (2020). [1] [2]
Crisafulli began announcing LNP candidates 18 months prior to the election, making the LNP the first party to formally endorse candidates for the election. [12] The LNP announced several other candidates afterwards. The second party to formally endorse a candidate was Katter's Australian Party (KAP), announcing Bruce Logan as their candidate for the Far North Queensland seat of Cook on 6 October 2023. [13] Logan would later withdraw from the race, citing family issues and property damage arising from Cyclone Jasper. [14] Names of incumbent MPs who are contesting are highlighted in bold.
