2024 State general election
The 2024 State general election will be held on Saturday 26 October 2024.
Accessing live election results (XML feed)
Election results will be available directly from the ECQ results website which displays current information for each electoral district.
If you are a journalist or media outlet you can request to have access to raw results data through an XML data feed. This XML data file is not suited for general public use, but is designed for use by customed software that may extract, search, filter and represent the raw results data to suit niche requirements.
The XML feed is publicly available through the ‘Event data’ tab on the election results website.
To access the secure SFTP directory that provides access to additional results data and files, the system accessing the files needs to be whitelisted.
To request whitelisting and access details, please email details of the public IPv4 address from the system accessing the files to media@ecq.qld.gov.au (you can confirm your IPv4 address details here: https://whatismyipaddress.com/).
Once you have submitted your request and your IP address has been whitelisted, a confirmation email will be sent to you with further instructions about how to connect to the SFTP service.
For more information, a guide to using the XML feed can be found here.
