Moore is an Electoral district of Western Australia. As in other districts, the Moore district elects a single person to the Western Australian Legislative Assembly.

Profile

History
Moore had been held by the Country or National Party from 1950 until shortly before the 1986 election, when sitting MP Bert Crane resigned and joined the Liberal Party. He retired in 1989, with new boundaries seeing Liberal Bill McNee defeat a sitting National Party MP in Mort Schell. It was a sweet victory for McNee, having been defeated by Schell in the electorate of Mount Marshall at the 1986 election. At the 2001 election, McNee's vote fell from 77.9% to 36.5% in 2001 as One Nation finished second with 24.4% and the National Party also polled 16.1%.
Members: Bert Crane (LIB/NAT) 1986-1989, Bill McNee (LIB) 1989-2005, Gary Snook (LIB) 2005-2008, Grant Woodhams (NAT) 2008-
