Popular Stories

Voters are being reminded that new electoral boundaries will be in effect for the 2022 state election.

The boundaries were revised as part of a state redivision conducted in 2021 by the Electoral Boundaries Commission in a consultation process that featured submissions from the public, political parties and other interested groups.

In the Lower House, Wandong and Heathcote Junction has moved from the seat of Euroa to Yan Yean.

Wallan has moved out of Yan Yean into Kalkallo, a new seat which extends South along the Hume Freeway corridor to Mickleham and Craigieburn.

However Wallan East remains in Yan Yean, meaning residents east of the Hume Highway will continue voting for candidates in that seat.

In the Upper House, the seat of Kalkallo are considered part of the Northern Metropolitan Region, meaning Wallan and Beveridge residents will vote for candidates nominated in that region.

All residents in the seat of Yan Yean will remain voting the Northern Victoria Region.

The changes to the electoral boundaries will come into effect on November 1. To vote in the state election, people must be correctly enrolled by 8pm on November 8.
