Electoral district of Chung'an

Chung'an is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Longshan Prefecture. It was created in 1958 and first contested at the federal election later that year. It draws its name from the city of Chung'an, and covers its northern suburbs and parts of the city's central business district.

The sitting member, since the 2014 federal election, is Kelly Donovan Carter, a member of the Social Democratic Party.

History
Chung'an was proclaimed in 1958, as population growth in the city of Chung'an warranted the creation of a second seat. The new seat took in the northern half of the city, which was previously included in the electorate of Palmerston.

In its present configuration, the district of Chung'an is a safe Social Democratic seat. The northern suburbs of Chung'an tilt heavily towards the SDP, while the northern fringe of the CBD in the south of the electorate is a more marginal area. The Social Democrats have held Chung'an for all but five years since its creation. It was notably lost to the New Democratic Party in the 1974 election, and its leader Susan Liew held it for a single term before it returned to the Social Democrats. The United Party narrowly claimed the seat in the 1981 by-election, amidst a corruption scandal involving sitting member Mike Wordsworth and general declining popularity for the incumbent Thorpe Government. The Social Democrats have held the seat continuously since the 1982 election.
