The map not only shows each electorate, its candidates, the margin held and why it is significant — it also includes a breakdown of all criminal incidents recorded in 2018, including how each electorate ranks on crime compared to the rest of the state.

For example, Premier Daniel Andrews’ electorate of Mulgrave includes Greater Dandenong and Monash local government areas.

The map shows the electorate ranks 5th in the state for the most robbery incidents per 100,000 population.
