Former Greens senator Larissa Waters will seek to win back her Queensland spot at the next federal election.

Ms Waters won the support of 75 per cent of party members in a preselection ballot to become the lead upper house candidate for the Queensland Greens.

Ms Waters lost her senate seat eight months ago due to her dual citizenship and was replaced by Andrew Bartlett, who will now be contesting the lower house seat of Brisbane at the next poll.
