Endorsements in this year's Internal Federal Elections

Members of the Liberal Democrats will be aware that a wave of internal Federal Elections are imminent, with voting opening on Tuesday 25 October. We are proud that so many candidates have strong pro-LGBT+ commitments and records, and are delighted to be endorsing a number of candidates in these upcoming elections.

We asked candidates a number of questions about their commitment and positions on key LGBT+ issues, and following a review and confirmatory vote as an Executive, are pleased to endorse the below candidates. We know that many other candidates running have got strong LGBT+ commitments and credentials but didn't go through our endorsement process. Those listed below are therefore not an exhaustive list.

** We have received an influx of endorsement requests in recent days. The executive is working hard to review these and will update our lists in due course. **
