Establishment
On 14 April 2011 Parliament passed a motion to establish a
Select Committee on Electoral Boundaries.
Terms of Reference
In conducting its inquiry, the Committee must examine the
following matters:
- the population in each existing constituency;
- the number of registered voters in each existing
constituency;
- any perceived inequity in existing electoral boundaries;
- proposed alternatives for the review of electoral boundaries,
including:
-
- the possibility of separating certain constituencies into
separate constituencies for each district in order to create a more
equitable and relevant division of electorates;
- the possibility in particular of the separation of the
constituency of Anabar, Ijuw and Anibare into 3 separate
constituencies, each with its own individual Member of
Parliament;
- the possibility of the separation of the constituency of
Ubenide into separate constituencies for each of the Districts
within that constituency;
- the possibility of creating a new electorate to encompass the
area containing the Location compound and the NPC settlement
residents;
- submissions from the public;
- any other matter that the Committee deems necessary or relevant
to enable it to complete its Report on electoral boundaries.
