Longman, Federal electoral division in Queensland, Australia.
Longman is a federal electoral division in Queensland that covers areas across Moreton Bay, Somerset, and Sunshine Coast Regional Council territories. The division includes both city zones like Caboolture and Morayfield alongside island and regional communities.
The division was created in 1996 and named after Irene Longman, who in 1929 became the first woman elected to Queensland Parliament and served until 1932. This naming honors her pioneering role in Australian parliamentary history.
The electoral division incorporates both urban centers and provincial communities, representing different segments of Queensland's population across multiple councils.
Residents across the division can vote in federal elections at designated polling stations distributed throughout communities including Bribie Island, Caboolture, Morayfield, and Narangba. Checking the location of your nearest polling station before election day helps ensure a smooth voting experience.
In 2010 this division elected Wyatt Roy to Parliament, making him the youngest person ever chosen for the Australian House of Representatives. That election brought national attention to the region.
