Queensland redistribution
The information provided on these pages is for the redistribution of federal electoral divisions in Queensland. Information about the next redistribution of Queensland state electoral boundaries is available from the Electoral Commission of Queensland.
The Acting Electoral Commissioner has announced the deferral of the redistribution of Queensland’s 30 electoral divisions.
The deferral is required by the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 (the Electoral Act) as the commencement falls within the last 12 months of the 47th Parliament.
The redistribution will therefore not commence until after the House of Representatives in the 48th Parliament has met for the first time.
Section 59 of the Electoral Act sets out the requirements for the Queensland redistribution to be deferred.
