Candidates of the Victorian state election, 1917
This is a list of candidates who stood for the 1917 Victorian state election. The election was held on 15 November 1917.
Since the previous election, the Liberal Party had absorbed pro-conscription Labor defecters and become the Nationalist Party. However, the Nationalists contested this election as three competing factions: Ministerialists, the supporters of Alexander Peacock's government; the "Economy Party", supporters of John Bowser; and the National Labor Party, for those ex-Labor members now supporting the anti-Labor side of politics.
