Victorian Election 2026: Meet the Candidates

With Victorians heading to the polls on Saturday 28 November, Manningham Life is launching its Meet the Candidates series to help local voters make informed choices about who will represent them in State Parliament.

We have invited candidates contesting the Lower House seats of Bulleen and Warrandyte, as well as those standing for the North-Eastern Metropolitan Region in the Upper House, to participate in the series.

We also welcome participation from Manningham residents standing for election in other Victorian electorates.

What do the candidates have to say?

We have asked candidates six questions about their backgrounds, connections to the community, reasons for standing, the issues they believe matter most to residents, and what they hope to achieve if elected.

Sitting MPs seeking re-election have also been invited to outline their achievements during their current term.

Of particular interest to Manningham Life is what candidates would do to improve the everyday lives of residents, especially those in Manningham.

How the series works

All candidates have been offered the same opportunity to participate, regardless of political affiliation.

Their responses will be published as individual profiles on the Manningham Life website as they are received and have undergone our editorial checks.

Responses are provided by the candidates themselves and do not constitute an endorsement by Manningham Life.

As early voting approaches, we encourage readers to explore the profiles, consider the candidates' priorities and commitments, and make their own informed decisions at the ballot box.

Candidate profiles will be added to this series as they become available.
