A by-election for the seat of Bragg in the South Australian House of Assembly was held on 2 July 2022.[1] The by-election was triggered by the parliamentary resignation of Liberal Party MP and former Deputy Premier Vickie Chapman on 31 May 2022.[2] Jack Batty retained the seat for the Liberal Party, despite a modest swing being recorded against the party.[3][4][5]
