Commentary and analysis

Elections

Overview

[recent redistricting]

Inequality in the effective influence of voters caused by variations in Legislative Assembly division enrolments has been moderate in recent elections. Unlike those of other Australian state lower houses, the WA system still retains a distinct weighting in favour of a small number of rural and remote electorate divisions. The most recent standard deviation of variations compared to the mean enrolment being X.X% in 2016.
