The Western Victoria Region takes in the western third of the state, from Bass Strait to the Wimmera, and from Geelong to the South Australian border. Despite its broad rural areas, however, most of its votes are cast in the cities of Ballarat and Geelong and in outer western suburbs of Melbourne. Of the eleven lower-house seat that make up the Region, four are in the Geelong area (Bellarine,
Geelong, Lara and South Barwon), two are in Ballarat (Eureka and Wendouree) and one is in the Melbourne fringes (Melton). Only four are genuinely rural: Lowan, Polwarth, Ripon and South-West Coast. Politically, the Region is finely balanced. Labor holds eight of the eleven lower house seats, the Liberals two (Polwarth and South-West Coast) and the Nationals one (Lowan).
