Australian Capital Territory redistribution 2025
The redistribution of the Australian Capital Territory commenced on 12 August 2025. Public suggestions were sought from 8 October 2025 until 7 November 2925. Here you can find details of my suggestion to the Redistribution Committee.
Proposed electoral divisions
My suggestion ensures all electoral divisions in the Australian Capital Territory meet the numerical thresholds for actual and projected enrolment, while adhering to community of interests criteria as outlined in the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918.
The numerical thresholds for this redistribution are:
- Redistribution quota
- Total electors: 321,879 divided by the number of divisions: 3 = 107,293
- Threshold for electors within each division (±10%)
- Between 96,564 and 118,022 actual electors
- Projected electoral quota
- Total projected electors: 344,525 divided by the number of divisions: 3 = 114,842
- Threshold for projected electors within each division (±3.5>
- Between 110,823 and 118,861 projected electors
Of The current electoral divisions, Bean is over quota at 114,006 or +6.26%. Canberra and Fenner are within the actual enrolment threshold.
| Division name | Current projected | Current deviation % | Proposed actual | Proposed projected | Proposed deviation % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bean | 123,608 | +7.63% | 114,037 | 117,983 | +2.70% |
| Canberra | 109,175 | -4.93% | 102,571 | 114,800 | -0.04% |
