The October 2024 general election in Baustralia will take place on 31 October 2024 (2024-10-31). The election was preceded with the announcements of the resignation of Sir Oliver Doig and Brianna Broersma, senior politicians in the Conservative Party, the former a Prime Minister prior to the election in June of the same year.
