Latest legal date. The National Assembly first sat on 9 May 2025, continues for five years from that sitting unless sooner dissolved and then stands dissolved (Constitution s 84(2)), so by 9 May 2030; a general election must be held within three months after the dissolution (s 85(1)), which gives 9 August 2030. The Governor-General may dissolve earlier on the Prime Minister's advice (s 84(4)).
