2025-04-30 2025-04-30T10:09:40.3324748 Feature layer Australian Bureau of Statistics geography@abs.gov.au ArcGIS Metadata 1.0 SED SED_2021_ASGS_Ed_3 Australian Bureau of Statistics geography@abs.gov.au State Electoral Divisions (SED) are an ABS Mesh Block approximation of state electoral districts. A state electoral district is an area legally prescribed for the purpose of returning one or more members to the State or Territory Lower Houses of Parliament, or the relevant equivalent. Boundaries are based on the most up to date state electoral districts available prior to publication. State Electoral Divisions may change as State or Territory authorities revise their boundaries. Where this occurs, State Electoral Divisions will be updated on an annual basis in conjunction with updates of other Non ABS Structures. Please note that ABS approximated boundaries do not match official legal or administrative boundaries and should only be used for statistical purposes. Further information about these regions can be found in the following publication: Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 3 https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/standards/australian-statistical-geography-standard-asgs-edition-3/jul2021-jun2026 State Electoral Divisions developed by the ABS enable the comparison of ABS data with other data collected using state electoral districts as the geographic reference. State Electoral Divisions cover the whole of geographic Australia, with the exception of the external territories of Jervis Bay, Norfolk Island, Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, which are allocated to "Unclassified (OT)". State Electoral Divisions do not cross State and Territory borders.
