Victorian Legislative Assembly Electoral Boundaries 2022

2022 electoral boundaries for Victoria's Legislative Assembly, resulting from the 2020-21 State Redivision under the Electoral Boundaries Commission Act 1982. This dataset provides the official geospatial polygons for the Lower House districts used in the 2022 Victorian State Election. The dataset supersedes earlier versions from 1991, 2001, and 2013, which are also documented.

Use Cases

• Mapping electoral districts for the 2022 Victorian State Election based on the official 2020-21 redivision.
• Analyzing changes in political representation by comparing current boundaries to superseded versions from 1991, 2001, and 2013.
• Conducting geospatial analysis of voter distribution using the polygon boundary data.

Strengths

• Explicitly defined under the legal framework of the Electoral Boundaries Commission Act 1982.
• Cross-platform presence on data.gov.au indicates official status and importance for public use.
• Clear versioning and supersession history is documented across multiple dataset entries.

Limitations

• Column names and specific attribute data are not provided in the available metadata.
• The most recent update date (2026-04-09) is in the future relative to the dataset's 2022 context, suggesting a potential metadata anomaly.
• Multiple superseded versions exist, requiring users to ensure they are using the correct temporal version for their analysis.
