The Division of Pomegas (/pɒˈmɛgəs/ po-meh-gəss) is a Craftian federal division in the state of Meyang. It was created in 2034 and was first contested at the federal election held later that year. It is named after Edward Pomegas (1938–2014), a Reatinese Craftian economist and chief financial advisor to the federal governments of Marcus Pierce and Alexander Lee. The Division of Pomegas is located in the southern suburbs and outskirts of the city of Yoollagarra on Meyang's central coast.

The sitting member, since the 2067 federal election, is Janine Herald, the leader of the Craftian Conservative Party.

History

Yoollagarra is known for being one of the most right-leaning cities in Craftia, and its southern suburbs are no exception. Pomegas has been won by the Conservative Party at every election bar one since its creation. The electorate's change has changed significantly since 2031, however, with the seat compacting longitudinally due to population growth along the coastal suburbs and areas further inland falling in population.
