Results of the 2022 South Australian state election (Legislative Council)

This is a list of results for the Legislative Council at the 2022 South Australian state election.

The 11 of 22 seats up for election were 5 Liberal, 4 Labor, 1 Green and 1 Advance SA.

Following the collapse of the SA-BEST vote, a party formed by Nick Xenophon in 2017, by over 18 percentage to just 1.05% the filling of the first 9 elected members with quotas were 4 Labor, 4 Liberal, 1 Green.

After the distribution of preferences of the remaining valid votes, One Nation and Labor won the final two remaining seats from Family First. The final outcome was 5 Labor, 4 Liberal, 1 Green and 1 One Nation.

As a result Labor had gained one seat and One Nation in their first election in South Australia had replaced Advance SA's John Darley, who was elected in 2014 under the Independent Nick Xenophon Team (formerly No Pokies), and been a member of the South Australian Legislative Council since 2007.

Carrying over members of the Legislative Council from the 2018 election (serving a 8 year term) were 4 Labor, 4 Liberal, 2 SA-BEST, 1 Green.

Rob Lucas after 40 years, Leader of the Government and Liberal Party in the Legislative Council, retired at the end of his term in 2022 having been first elected in 1982.
