Electoral districts of Victoria are the electoral districts, commonly referred to as "seats" or "electorates", into which the Australian State of Victoria is divided for the purpose of electing members of the Victorian Legislative Assembly, one of the two houses of the Parliament of the State. The State is divided into 88 single-member districts. The Legislative Assembly has had 88 electorates since the 1985 election, increased from 81 previously.
Electoral boundaries are redrawn from time to time, in a process called redivision. The last redivision took place in 2021, when the Victorian Electoral Boundaries Commission reviewed Victoria's district boundaries. The boundaries arising from the 2013 redivision applied at the 2014 and the 2018 state elections.[1] Previous redivisions took place in 2005, 2001 and 1991.[2] The last redivision completed in October 2021, and all changes came into effect on 1 November 2022, when the writ for the 2022 State election was issued. [3] The redivision created 9 new districts, removed 9 districts, renamed one region, and adjusted most other boundaries. [4]
As of November 2022, there are 88 electoral districts.
(Note: some current electoral districts have been previously abolished and recreated; the below table lists the year of each district’s original inception.)
