Just in case you missed it - we updated Federal districts for NSW, ACT, and WA in Australia. We also added State Electoral Districts and Local Government Areas for WA recently. NSW, ACT, and WA were redistricted in 2016 so now our shape files are up to date! The remaining Federal districts were not updated so they will remain the same. 

To see the new districts applied to your existing signups, you'll want to toggle auto-districting on/off; that'll be found under Settings->Political. If you have existing districts that you previously imported, use caution as these can be wiped in favor of auto-districted information.

It can take up to 24hrs to fully update large databases, but you can update specific profiles immediately by hitting the "save address" button on the profile's "location" tab. All new users added to the database will automatically get the new districts, and anyone with the "override lat/long" box checked on their profile will not receive auto-districting updates.
