This report summarizes the transposition of the results of the 44th general election in 2021 to the new boundaries established by the 2023 decennial Federal Electoral District (FED) boundary readjustment process.
The results must be transposed because registered parties that have endorsed candidates in a FED in the previous general election have the right to provide lists of names of persons suitable to be appointed as election officers in that FED. After a decennial FED boundary readjustment, the determination as to which registered parties have the right to provide lists of names is based on a transposition of the results of the previous general election, which for this report was the 44th general election held on September 21, 2021, onto the new electoral map.
In cases where the returning officer receives a number of names from registered parties that is greater than the number of election officers remaining to be appointed, appointment will be made as far as possible in the same proportion as the votes received after the transposition exercise.
There will be 343 FEDs under the 2023 representation orders (compared to 338 FEDs under the 2013 representation order). Out of those new 343 FEDs, 48 are FEDs from the 2013 representation order for which the boundaries were unchanged.
The new FEDs and changed boundaries will come into effect when Parliament is dissolved for a general election called at least seven months after the representation orders are proclaimed. The earliest date is April 23, 2024.
