State boundary reviews
We provide support to the Electoral Boundaries Commission (EBC). The EBC sets the boundaries of State districts and regions.
It also reviews these boundaries. This is known as a redivision.
A redivision is a consultative process that invites submissions from all members of the public, political parties and others.
What is a State boundary review?
A State boundary review (or a redivision) is the review and adjustment of Victoria's State electoral boundaries. There is one happening right now, and you're invited to share your ideas.When will the next redivision be held?
A State redivision began in December 2020 and will finish in October 2021.
Any changes to the State electoral boundaries will apply at the next Victorian State election in November 2022.
For more information about the redivision and to make a submission, visit the Electoral Boundaries Commission website.
