Electoral regions of Victoria : ウィキペディア英語版 | Electoral regions of Victoria
Members of the Victorian Legislative Council, the upper house of the Parliament of the Australian State of Victoria, are elected from 8 multi-member electorates called regions. The Legislative Council has 40 members, 5 from each of the 8 regions. The last time electoral boundaries were drawn was in 2013. == Reform of 2003== A major reform of the Parliament was made by the Labor government, led by Steve Bracks, with the passage of the ''Constitution (Parliamentary Reform) Act'' 2003. Under the new system, members of the Legislative Council serve fixed four-year terms linked to elections for the Legislative Assembly, unless the Legislative Assembly is dissolved sooner. Each electoral region consists of 11 contiguous Legislative Assembly electoral districts with about 420,000 electors each, who elect five members to the Legislative Council by a single transferable vote. There are now 40 members of the Legislative Council, four fewer than before. The changes also introduced proportional representation. The opportunity was also taken to remove the Council's ability to block supply. The reforms have made it easier for minor parties to gain election to the Council and possibly gain the balance of power. The Electoral Boundaries Commission drew the boundaries of the new regions in 2005.〔(Electoral Boundaries Commission 2000–2001 Redivision Report )〕 The new system came into effect for the 2006 Victorian election.
