BOUNDARIES for the federal seat of Mallee could be in for change at a redistribution announced by the Australian Electoral Commission.
Victoria will be reduced by one seat to 38 in the Federal Parliament after the redistribution expected to be finished in late 2024.
Mallee includes all communities in the Loddon Shire and is the largest electorate in Victoria covering 83,412 square kilometres, more than double the next biggest Wannon.
According to the AEC, Mallee’s current enrolment is within two per cent of the required 110,000 people.
However, with one less seat in Victoria, the required number may change.
Public submissions on the redistribution will open from September and proposed boundaries released from March.
Anne Webster has held Mallee for the National Party since 2019.
