Clark and the other House of Assembly electoral divisions are each represented by five members elected under the Hare-Clark electoral system (also named after Andrew Inglis Clark).
Clark was renamed from the Denison when amendments to the Tasmanian Constitution Act 1934 gained Royal Assent on 28 September 2018,[1] aligning Tasmania's state electoral divisions with the federal divisions which had undergone a boundary redistribution, including renaming Denison to Clark, and was formally gazetted on 14 November 2017.[2]
