This is a list of candidates for the 2014 Victorian state election. The election was held on 29 November 2014.
At the close of nominations on 14 November 2014, there were a total of 896 candidates in the election (a 26 per cent increase to the 711 candidates in the 2010 election). There were 545 candidates contesting the 88 seats of the Victorian Legislative Assembly (up from 501, an 8.6 per cent increase); and 351 candidates contesting the 40 seats in the Legislative Council (up from 206, a 68 per cent increase). [1]
A redistribution of Victoria's state electoral boundaries was finalised on 17 October 2013. It saw the abolition of the Labor seats of Ballarat East, Ballarat West, Clayton, Derrimut, Keilor and Lyndhurst; the Liberal seats of Doncaster, Kilsyth, Mitcham, Scoresby and Seymour; and the Nationals seats of Benalla, Murray Valley, Rodney and Swan Hill.
The fifteen seats created to replace the fifteen abolished seats were the notionally Labor seats of Buninyong, Clarinda, Keysborough, St Albans, Sunbury, Sydenham and Werribee; the notionally Liberal seats of Croydon, Eildon, Ringwood, Rowville and Wendouree; and the Nationals seats of Euroa, Murray Plains and Ovens Valley. In addition, the Labor-held seats of Bellarine, Monbulk, Ripon and Yan Yean became notionally Liberal.
Sitting members are shown in bold text. Successful candidates are highlighted in the relevant colour. Where there is possible confusion, an asterisk (*) is also used.
