A by-election will be held on 9 May 2026 to elect the Australian member of parliament (MP) for the New South Wales division of Farrer. The election follows the resignation of former opposition leader and former Liberal MP Sussan Ley.
It will be the first by-election since the 2025 federal election, the first during Angus Taylor's leadership of the Liberals, the first during Matt Canavan's leadership of the Nationals, and the fifth during Anthony Albanese's tenure as prime minister.
