“Members of the public have until midnight this Tuesday, 14 March to make comments on the public suggestions lodged for changes to the ACT Legislative Assembly’s electoral boundaries”, the ACT Electoral Commissioner, Mr Damian Cantwell AM CSC, said today.

“A total of 19 suggestions were received by the Redistribution Committee as part of the public suggestion phase of the Redistribution process.  These suggestions are now available for public inspection on the ACT Electoral Commission website at www.elections.act.gov.au” Mr Cantwell said.

Members of the public are invited to make written comments on the suggestions.  Comments should be lodged with the Redistribution Committee via the Elections ACT website or by email to redistribution@act.gov.au.

After the close of the comments period, the Redistribution Committee will consider the public suggestions and comments before publishing a proposed redistribution of the ACT's electoral boundaries. The public will then have 28 days in which to object to the proposed boundaries.

The ACT Legislative Assembly’s electoral boundaries are being redrawn in preparation for the 19 October 2024 election.

Complete electoral enrolment statistics and further detailed information is available from the ACT Electoral Commission’s website at www.elections.act.gov.au and from the office of Elections ACT at the Nara Centre, 3 Constitution Avenue, Canberra City.
