Results of the 2014 Victorian state election (Legislative Assembly)
The 2014 Victorian state election, held on 29 November 2014, determined the composition of the 58th Parliament of Victoria's Legislative Assembly. The election saw the incumbent Liberal/National Coalition government, led by Premier Denis Napthine, defeated by the Labor Party, led by Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews.
Prior to the election, the Coalition held a majority of seats in the Legislative Assembly. The election resulted in a significant swing towards Labor. While initial results were close, the Labor Party ultimately secured a majority government with 47 seats. The Liberal Party won 30 seats and the National Party won 7 seats. One seat was won by an independent candidate.
Key factors contributing to the Labor victory included dissatisfaction with the Napthine government's policies, particularly concerning public transport and education, as well as effective campaigning by the Labor Party focusing on these issues. The Labor Party's policy platform included promises to remove level crossings, invest in renewable energy, and improve education funding.
Following the election, Daniel Andrews was sworn in as Premier of Victoria, marking the end of the Coalition's four-year term in government. The results represented a significant shift in the political landscape of Victoria and had lasting impacts on state policy and governance. Detailed breakdowns of the results by electorate, including vote percentages and swings, are publicly available from the Victorian Electoral Commission.
