The Australian Electoral Officer (State Manager) for Queensland, Ms Anne Bright, has reminded all interested individuals and organisations that written suggestions must be lodged with the Redistribution Committee by 6pm this Friday 24 April 2009.

“The redrawing of the Queensland federal electoral boundaries is a consultative process that is being undertaken to ensure that each of Queensland’s electoral divisions has, as near as possible, the same number of electors,” Ms Bright said.

“This information is available on the AEC website or from the AEC’s Brisbane office on 07 3834 3450,” she said.
