The federal electorate of Pearce, located in Western Australia, encompasses suburban and rural areas to the north and east of Perth, including parts of the City of Wanneroo and the Shire of Chittering. Established in 1990, it is named after Senator Sir George Pearce, a prominent figure in Australian politics. Pearce has historically been a marginal seat, often swinging between the Liberal and Labor parties, reflecting its diverse demographic mix of urban professionals, families, and rural communities. Key issues for voters include infrastructure development, healthcare, and cost-of-living pressures. The electorate's evolving population and proximity to Perth's growth corridors make it a politically significant area in federal elections.
