As the next general elections will be held in 2024, a review of the APY Lands electorates was conducted from late 2023.
The Aṉangu Pitjatjantjara Yankunytjatjara Land Rights Act 1981 (the APY Act) requires that the review included consultation with APY members and the APY Executive Board.
The Electoral Commissioner also invited submissions from the APY Community Councils and other parties or individuals with an interest in the APY Lands.
Additionally, the Electoral Commission of SA visited the APY Lands during October 2023 to discuss the boundary review.
At the conclusion of the review, no written public submissions were received. The Electoral Commissioner did not make any recommendation to change the current electorate boundaries.
