Tasmania redistribution 2025
The redistribution of Tasmania commenced on 12 August 2025. Public suggestions were sought from 8 October 2025 until 7 November 2025. Here you can find details of my suggestion to the Redistribution Committee.
Proposed electoral divisions
My suggestion ensures all electoral divisions in Tasmania 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: 413,176 divided by the number of divisions: 5 = 82,635
- Threshold for electors within each division (±10%)
- Between 74,372 and 90,898 actual electors
- Projected electoral quota
- Total projected electors: 422,785 divided by the number of divisions: 5 = 84,557
- Threshold for projected electors within each division (±3.5%)
- Between 81,598 and 87,526 projected electors
