Electoral district of Charlestown

Charlestown is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in New Colorado Prefecture, first contested at the 1994 federal election. Its territory includes the northern half of the Karburgh metropolitan area, as well as the periurban region the north, which is adjacent to the Batavian border. It is named after the suburb of Charlestown, a major commercial centre of Karburgh's northern suburbs.

The sitting member, since the 2010 federal election, is Stephanie Wilder, a member of the Social Democratic Party.

History
Charlestown was created in the 1994 redistribution after population growth in Karburgh stipulated the creation of an additional electorate for the city. While Karburgh is generally a working class city, which is reflected in its voting patterns – the city has not been represented by a conservative member since 1958 – the city's northern suburbs are exceptionally safe for the Social Democrats. The Liberals often run dead in the seat, and are lucky to win 30 percent of the two-party-preferred vote.
