Forrest is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Miranda Prefecture, first contested at the 1966 federal election. It is named after Forrest County, which overlaps much of the district. Forrest County is in turn named after Henry Forrest, the 11th Governor of Enderron (1842–1846). Forrest is located in Miranda's northeast corner, bordering Batavia to the east and the outskirts of Nottingham to the south.
The sitting member, since the 2006 federal election, is Michael Fergerson, a member of the Social Democratic Party.
==History==
Forrest's position in northeastern Miranda has remained largely unchanged since its creation in 1966. Its most significant changes have been to its southern border with the electorate of Nottingham, which covers most of the eponymous city. Increasing population in the city has meant Forrest now reaches the northern peri-urban regions just beyond the Nottingham metropolitan area.
Forrest is traditionally one of Miranda's more marginal seats, although it has trended towards the Social Democrats in recent years, and has largely become a contest between the SDP and Enderron National Party; the Liberals and their conservative predecessors have not held the seat since 1982.
