Electoral districts of Victoria

For the purpose of electing members of the Victorian Legislative Assembly, one of the two houses of the Parliament of the Australian State of Victoria, the State is divided into 88 single-member electoral districts, commonly referred to as "seats" or "electorates". The Legislative Assembly has had 88 electorates since the 1985 election, increased from 81 previously.

For electorates of the Victorian Legislative Council, see Electoral regions of Victoria.

Electoral boundaries were last redrawn in 2013, when the Victorian Electoral Boundaries Commission reviewed Victoria's district boundaries, and the resulting redistribution applied at the 2014 and the 2018 state elections.[1] Previous redistributions for Legislative Assembly districts took place in 2005, 2001 and 1991.[2] The next redivision of State electoral boundaries will take place in 2020-2021.[1]
