Taralga is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Kaigan Prefecture. It was created in 1950 and first contested at the federal election later that year. It consists of the city of Taralga and its surrounding area.
The sitting member, since the 2018 federal election, is Colleen Scrivener, a member of the Social Democratic Party.
==History==
Taralga is a safe seat for the Social Democratic Party, which has held it without interruption since its creation. The city of Taralga has a largely blue-collar economy based on manufacturing, energy production and transport sectors. For several years, Taralga was the Social Democrats' safest seat in the federal parliament. Gentrification and demographic change have whittled down the vote to some degree, but the seat remains comfortably safe for the party.
