The 2025 Australian federal election was held on Saturday, 3 May 2025 to elect members of the 48th parliament of Australia. The incumbent Labor government, led by Anthony Albanese, won re-election to a second consecutive term in office with an increased majority. Up for election were all 150 seats in the House of Representatives and 40 of the 76 seats in the Senate.
Less than three hours after polls closed, all news organisations projected that Albanese's Labor Party would win the election with an increased majority. All media organisations have also projected that the Liberal–National Coalition leader and Opposition leader Peter Dutton would lose his seat of Dickson to Labor challenger Ali France. Albanese became the first prime minister to be elected to a second full term since John Howard in 2004.
