Tasmanian federal and state electoral divisions since 2017. They are next due to be redistributed in 2025.[1]

The Australian state of Tasmania is divided into five electoral divisions for the purposes of electing the Australian House of Representatives in Canberra. Each division elects one Member of Parliament. At the 2025 federal election, Tasmania elected four Labor MPs, and one independent MP.

As an original state Tasmania is guaranteed a minimum of 5 seats.[2] Given its relatively small population, this means it have one representative per ~70,000 voters, compared to Victoria's representation of one seat vs ~100,000 voters.[3]
