Dalton is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Miranda Prefecture. It was created in 1990 and first contested at the federal election later that year. It is a large rural district in the southwest of the prefecture. Its main population centre is the town of Mount Wilkinson. The seat is named for agricultural scientist and trade unionist Alfred Dalton.
The sitting member, since the 2013 by-election, is Spencer Bartell, a member of the National Party.
==History==
Dalton was created in the 1990 redistribution. It was carved out of the southern half of the neighbouring district of Mount Gilbert.
The electorate is politically diverse, with the mining town of Mount Wilkinson leaning to the Social Democratic Party and the rest of the district tilting towards the National and Liberal parties. During the early 21st century, it was a three-way marginal seat.
The Liberal Party banned its Dalton branch from contesting the seat in the 2018 election following allegations of severe branch stacking.
