Welcome to the Electoral Boundaries Commission
The 2012-2013 redivision of State electoral boundaries has commenced. The redivision is being held as there have been two general elections since the previous redivision.
The redivision will consider the boundaries of Victoria's electoral regions and districts established by past redivisions. The redivision will redraw electoral boundaries to ensure that each vote in Victorian State elections has an equal value and that each elector is represented equally in the Victorian Parliament.
The redivision is conducted by the Electoral Boundaries Commission (EBC).

The Proposed Electoral Boundaries Report will be released on Thursday, 27 June 2013. The Report will be available on this website and at Information Victoria, and will be displayed at Council service centres throughout the State.
Submissions in response to the boundaries presented in the Report will be accepted until Monday, 29 July 2013.
The redivision is based on enrolments as at 30 November 2012. The average number of electors per electoral district (Lower House electorate) is the quota for electoral districts, and the average number of electors per electoral region (Upper House electorate) is the quota for electoral regions. The electoral districts and regions established in the redivision must not vary in enrolment by more than 10% from the quota. The quotas are:
- Quota for electoral districts: 41,473
- Quota for electoral regions: 456,207
