📢 Want to help shape your community? Now’s the time to submit your ideas on the names and boundaries of federal electorates in SA, Tas and the ACT! Submissions can be made until 6pm (local time) 7 Nov. https://t.co/CxE4CwqTHR

💡Your ideas about the name, size, or shape of your electorate are important to this process. When the process kicks off, you’ll get a chance to share your ideas. You also get a chance to give feedback when the proposed changes have been announced. Stay tuned, more info to come!

This is because the Electoral Commission has to make a determination on the number of electorates each state & territory is entitled to (for the next federal election) 1 year & 1 day after the 1st sitting of Parliament after a federal election. This will occur on 23 July 2026.👇

A redistribution was also due in Queensland, but has been deferred until the second half of 2026. This is based off projected population figures provided by the ABS, which shows that Queensland's number of electorates could change. 👇

What might change? Sometimes an electorate gets a new shape, name, a new one is created or might be abolished entirely. Suggested names are generally after Aussies who have passed away & who made a big impact in their community. It’s all part of the process to keep things fair👇

Your electorate is the area you live and vote in, represented by a member of Parliament in the House of Representatives. Together with your community, it's where your vote counts towards. 👇

Redistributions happen from time to time, to make sure your electorate is fair and balanced. An independent committee follows strict legislation to make sure that electorates in your state have roughly the same number of people in them. 👇

Redistributions have been announced today in South Australia, Tasmania, and the ACT. But what is a redistribution? 🧵👇 https://t.co/1QoUgllxc2

At a federal election, there’s not just one writ! Writs for Senate elections in all six states had already been returned to State Governors throughout the past couple of weeks.
