Albury has generally been considered as a heartland seat for the conservative parties, and the Liberal Party of Australia and its predecessors have held the seat for almost all of its history. While there have been several instances of the Australian Labor Party breaking the conservative hold on the seat, these have typically been short-lived and have occurred only at the peak of a popular government. There has been only one major exception to this: former Albury mayor Harold Mair won the seat for Labor in 1978 and held it for a decade before being swept away in the landslide Labor defeat of 1988. The Albury electorate has since reverted to its traditional tendencies—the current Liberal member, Greg Aplin, was returned with more than 60 per cent of the vote in 2003, and Labor finished fourth behind Aplin and two independents.Albury includes both urban and rural areas, covering 12,956 km². There were 49,579 people enrolled within the electorate as of November 2011. Albury currently encompassed the local government areas of the City of Albury (including Albury), Greater Hume Shire (Culcairn and Holbrook), Corowa Shire (Corowa and Howlong) and Tumbarumba Shire (Tumbarumba) and a small part of Tumut Shire (Cabramurra).. }
