A Legislative Council vacancy in the South Metropolitan Region, arising from the resignation of the Honourable Stephen Pratt MLC, has been filled.
Members of the Legislative Council who were elected in the 2021 WA State election run for a 4-year fixed term expiring on 21 May 2025. The successful candidate will fill the remainder of that term.
Qualified persons who stood for the South Metropolitan region at the 2021 State election were eligible to re-nominate for the vacancy.
As there was only one nomination by a consenting candidate, a re-count of votes was not necessary and Ms Victoria Helps was declared elected to fill the vacancy.
Further information about the vacancy is available on the 2025 South Metropolitan Region (LC) Re-count page.
