THE Australian Electoral Commission recently confirmed that the current Federal Electorate of Murray will have its boundaries and name changed.
The Federal Member for Murray, the Hon Damian Drum MP said he will continue to be the Federal Member for Murray until the writs are issued for the next federal election where he will then become the candidate for Nicholls.
“It is great to see a Federal Electorate being named after one of our local heroes, who made such a big difference to our nation,” Mr Drum said.
“The change of the electoral boundaries and the new name for the Murray electorate will affect voters at the next election. Some of the changes include those living in the Loddon Shire becoming a part of the Mallee electoral division at the next federal election, voters living in Euroa and Violet Town will vote in the Indi electorate at the next election and voters living in Seymour, Broadford and surrounding areas will vote in my current seat which will be re-named Nicholls at the next election.
“Everyone who lives in the Campaspe Shire, the City of Greater Shepparton and the Moira Shire will vote in the re-named electorate of Nicholls at the next election,” Mr Drum said.
