The election will be conducted by the ACT Electoral Commission, using the proportional Hare-Clark system.

The Labor government, currently led by Chief Minister Andrew Barr, will attempt to win a seventh term against the Liberal opposition, currently led by Elizabeth Lee, who will seek to form government for the first time in 23 years. If the Liberal Party wins government, Lee will become the first Asian Australian head of government.

The leaders of all three parliamentary parties are from the same seat (the inner-city seat of Kurrajong); indeed, Lee is the only Liberal member representing the seat.
