Full list of 2024 ACT election candidates revealed

Elizabeth Kikkert will attempt to keep her political career alive by running to retain her seat in Ginninderra for the Family First Party after she was dumped by the Canberra Liberals.

ACT Labor will also need to fend off the Democratic Labour Party, which is fielding candidates in some electorates. Voter confusion has previously cost Labor votes, insiders say.

Elections ACT on Wednesday declared the names of the 149 candidates running for 25 seats across five electorates in the Legislative Assembly.

The Electoral Commission also used a random number generator to determine the order parties would be listed on each ballot.

The ACT election will be held on October 19.
