Notes

^† Shaun Gilchrist, the Nationals candidate for the district of Narracan, died on 20 November 2022. This resulted in the election being declared as "failed" by the VEC, and a supplementary election was held on 28 January 2023 for which parties and candidates had to re-register. The original candidate list was: Justin Seddon (Labor), Wayne Farnham (Liberal), Shaun Gilchrist (Nationals), Alyssa Weaver (Greens), Laura Rees (AJP), Hannah Darts (Family First), Leonie Blackwell (Freedom), Casey Murphy (PHON), Tony Wolfe (Independent).^[66]
