In most Australian jurisdictions, each state electorate represents an approximately equal number of voters. However, in Western Australia, until 2008 an MP represented 28,519 voters in greater Perth (the <a href="/wiki/Metropolitan_Region_Scheme" title="Metropolitan Region Scheme">Metropolitan Region Scheme</a> area) or 14,551 country voters.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> At the 2006 census taken on 8 August 2006, 73.76% of Western Australia's residents lived in and around Perth,<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> but only 34 of Western Australia's 57 Legislative Assembly seats, representing 60% of the total, were located in the metropolitan region.

Up until 2005, reform had proceeded gradually—the most dramatic changes had occurred with the enactment of the <i>Electoral Districts Act 1947</i> and the <i>Acts Amendment (Electoral Reform) Act 1987</i>, the latter of which raised the number of metropolitan seats from 29 to 34.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Effective on 20 May 2005, the <i>Electoral Amendment and Repeal Act 2005</i> (No.1 of 2005) abolished the country-metropolitan distinction for the Legislative Assembly, but all seats then in place remained until the <a href="/wiki/2008_Western_Australian_state_election" title="2008 Western Australian state election">following election</a> on 6 September 2008. A redistribution of seats announced by the Western Australian Electoral Commission on 29 October 2007 places 42 seats in Perth and 17 in the country, with a variation of ±10% from the average population normally permitted. The only distinction for rural seats is that any seat with an area of 100,000 square kilometres (38,610 sq mi) or greater (that is, 4% of the State's land area) may have a variation of +10%–20% from
