Results of the 1976 Victorian state election (Legislative Council)

The 1976 Victorian Legislative Council election was held on Saturday, 20 March 1976. Fifteen of the 40 seats in the Victorian Legislative Council were up for election. These were the seats representing the provinces that had been won by candidates at the 1970 election.

Prior to the election, the Liberal Party held a comfortable majority in the Legislative Council. The election saw a small swing towards the Labor Party, but the Liberals retained their majority. The key issues in the election were related to economic management, particularly concerning inflation and unemployment, and the ongoing political turmoil surrounding the Whitlam government at the federal level, although state issues played a significant role as well.

The state of the parties after the election was:

• Liberal Party: Held majority
• Labor Party: Increased representation slightly
• National Party: Maintained existing representation.

Detailed results for each province, including candidate information and vote counts, can be found in official parliamentary records and electoral commission reports from the period. Further historical research may be required to determine the exact composition of the Legislative Council and the specific margins of victory in each contested province.
