Candidates of the 2013 Australian federal election explained

This article provides information on candidates for the 2013 Australian federal election held on 7 September 2013. There were 1,717 candidates in total (1,188 for the House of Representatives and 529 for contested Senate seats).^[1]

Redistributions

Redistributions of electoral boundaries occurred in Victoria and South Australia:

• Although draft electoral boundaries released during the 2010 election campaign indicated significant changes would take place in the redistribution in 2011, the Redistribution Committee restarted the process and the final boundaries made minor changes only.^[2]
• Changes were minor in South Australia: no divisions changed names, the state's entitlement of 11 seats in the House of Representatives remained, and the redrawn boundaries resulted in no notional change of party.^[3]
