State Electoral Boundaries
In South Australia there is one Legislative Council district (the entire state) and forty-seven House of Assembly districts.
Following each state election, a boundary review is conducted by the Electoral Districts Boundaries Commission. In 2016, the boundary review led to changes to the boundaries of 46 of the 47 House of Assembly electoral districts.
These changes mean that around 400,000 or one third of all South Australian electors have moved district, and a further 81,000 electors have not moved but find themselves living in a different electoral district as a result of name changes to 7 districts.
These changes will officially take effect on polling day, 17 March 2018. Until that date, your current Member of Parliament continues to be your representative in the House of Assembly.
