Western Australia State Redistribution 2027

Context

Western Australia is divided into state electoral districts, which must be drawn within 10% of the average district enrolment of (ie. between and ).

Districts larger than 100,000km2 are given additional 'virtual' electors equal to 2% of the total area of the district.

The Redistribution Commission may also consider projected district enrolments, with an aim for districts to also be within % of the average projected district enrolment of in 2032 (ie. between and ).

The ABS divides Western Australia into 546 named Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2s) which are divided into 12,545 Statistical Areas Level 1 (SA1s). These are the building blocks used to create electoral districts.

Some SA1s are actually split between multiple districts, however for the purposes of this tool SA1s cannot be split and have been fully placed in the most logical single district. As a result, some districts will have enrolment numbers that slightly differ from the offical figures.
