Electoral district of Orange

Orange is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Westhaven Prefecture, first contested at the 1974 federal election. Its territory includes the outer southern suburbs of Port William and surrounding peri-urban area. It is named after Orange County, on which it was originally based, which is in turn named after William of Orange.

The sitting member, since the 2002 federal election, is Michael Turnbull, a member of the Liberal Party of Enderron.

History
The electorate of Orange was proclaimed at the 1974 redistribution, and has been held by the Liberal Party and its conservative predecessors for all but eight years since. It fell out of conservative hands shortly after the 1994 federal election, when Jeff McAllister, the last leader of the United Party, refused to join the Conservative Party, and formed his own party, the Reform Party of Enderron. He represented the Reform Party until his defeat at the 1998 election at the hands of the Social Democratic Party's Sandra Wouters. She was in turn defeated in 2002 to incumbent member Michael Turnbull of the Liberals.

Since the 2000s, demographic change has made the seat increasingly marginal. The Social Democrats came within 0.61 percent of defeating the Liberals at the 2018 election.
