ANNABELLE Cleeland of The Nationals is the new Member for Euroa after a comprehensive victory in Saturday's Victorian State Election.

The incumbent , who was chosen by her party as the preferred successor to the departing Steph Ryan, received 62 per cent of the two–candidate preferred vote, finishing ahead of Labor candidate Angela Tough who received 38 per cent of votes.

Ms Cleeland celebrated the election victory with family, friends, supporters and volunteers at the Seymour Racecourse on Saturday night.

"It is incredibly humbling to be in this position and I'm so excited to get to work and fight for our region," Ms Cleeland said.

"I've met so many amazing people across our region and I'm committed to being an accessible and passionate local member."

Ms Cleeland praised Steph Ryan's tenure as the local member and thanked her supporting the campaign.

"Steph has done a fantastic job over the last eight years and I can't thank her enough for her support, guidance and friendship over the past few months," Ms Cleeland said.

"They are massive shoes to fill but the vision we put forward for our region was incredibly positive and has been backed by the community."

Ms Cleeland also thanked the work of volunteers and party members throughout the campaign.

"The level of support from family, friends and members has blown me away," she said.

"I can't thank the hundreds of people who have lent a hand to support my campaign and get this done enough.

"It's great to see so many people involved in politics and fighting for our region right across the political spectrum.

"Running a campaign takes a village and the team behind me should be proud of their hard work and the local outcome."

The election victory for Ms Cleeland continues The Nationals' reign in the region, with the now–retired member Steph Ryan previously holding the seat since it was first contested in 2014.

In the primary first preference votes this week, the majority of votes were shared amongst The Nationals, Labor and the Liberal Party.

Ms Cleeland received 11,305 votes for 34.78 per cent of the primary votes, Labor candidate Ms Tough received 9567 votes for 29.43 pc and Liberal candidate Brad Hearn received 6841 votes for 21.05pc.

Other candidates failed to poll more than five per cent of votes, with James Bennett from the Greens receiving 1544 votes for 4.75pc of primary first preference votes, Raymond Mark Rowbotham from the Freedom Party of Victoria collecting 1358 votes for 4.18pc, Paul Bachelor of Family First Victoria receiving 1090 votes for 3.35pc, and lastly Elaine Haddock of the Animal Justice Party received 801 votes for 2.46pc.

There was a considerable swing in votes in the first preference voting choices, primarily due to the presence of a Liberal candidate for the first time since 2014.

This was reflected in a 21 per cent swing for the Liberal Party (from 0pc to 21pc), a 1.3pc swing for the Labor Party (28.1pc to 29.4pc), and a –24.6pc swing for The Nationals (59.4pc to 34.8pc).

Despite the margin between The Nationals and Labor in the two candidate preferred result, there was a 3.3 per cent swing towards Labor in the Euroa electorate compared to results from the election in 2018.
