Members of the Victorian Legislative Council, 1925–1928 explained

This is a list of members of the Victorian Legislative Council between the elections of 4 June 1925 and 2 June 1928. As half of the Legislative Council's terms expired at each triennial election, half of these members were elected at the 1922 triennial election with terms expiring in 1928, while the other half were elected at the 1925 triennial election with terms expiring in 1931.

The Electoral Provinces Boundaries Act 1903 defined 17 Provinces with two members each for a total of 34 members.^[1]

Note the "Term in Office" refers to that members term(s) in the Council, not necessarily for that Province.
