Map of current Victorian electoral districts, coloured by result at the Victorian state election, 2014

Members of the Victorian Legislative Assembly, one of the two houses of the Parliament of the Australian State of Victoria, are elected from 88 single-member electoral districts, commonly referred to as "seats" or "electorates". The Legislative Assembly has had 88 electorates since the 1985 election, increased from 81 previously.

The last time electoral boundaries were redrawn was in 2013, when the Electoral Boundaries Commission reviewed Victoria's district boundaries, and the resulting redistribution applied to the districts used for the 2014 state election on 29 November.[1] Previous redistributions for lower house districts took place in 2005, 2001 and 1991.[2]
