What is Electoral region?
An '''electoral region''' is a type of multi-member [[constituency]] used to elect members of a [[legislature]]. They are used in many parts of the world, but often are elected in a different way. ==By country== ===Australia=== {{Main|Electoral regions of Victoria|Electoral regions of Western Australia}} In [[Australia]], electoral regions are only used to elect the [[Victorian Legislative Council]], the [[upper house]] of the [[Parliament of Victoria]]. They are elected using [[group voting ticket]]s, a system that is quite controversial in Australia. Electoral regions were also formerly used to elect the [[Western Australian Legislative Council]], the upper house of the [[Parliament of Western Australia]], using the same system as in Victoria. However, this system has been scrapped<ref>https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-11-17/wa-government-uses-majority-to-overhaul-wa-electoral-system/100625010</ref> and from the [[2025 Western Australian state election|2025 state election]] and onward the Legislative Council will be elected using the same system as the [[New South Wales Legislative Council|New South Wales]] and [[South Australian Legislative Council]]s, which are the upper houses of the state parliaments of [[Parliament of New South Wales|New South Wales]] and [[Parliament of South Australia|South Australia]], respectively. ===United Kingdom=== {{Main|Senedd constituencies and electoral regions#Electoral regions}} The [[Senedd]], the [[unicameral]] [[parliament]] of [[Wales]], uses electoral regions to elect some of its members.
