Increase of electoral divisions

(1) The Elections and Boundaries Commission shall, after considering the distribution of the population throughout Belize, make proposals from time to time for dividing Belize into electoral divisions in such a way that, (a) each electoral division shall have as nearly as may be an equal number of persons eligible to vote; (b) the total number of electoral divisions shall be not less than twenty-eight. (2) In fixing the boundaries of electoral divisions the Commission shall have regard to the transport and other facilities of the division, and to its physical features. (3) The proposals of the Commission made pursuant to this section shall be laid before the National Assembly by the Chairperson of the Commission, and the electoral divisions 108 specified in those proposals shall be the electoral divisions of Belize for the purposes of any law for the time being in force relating to the election of members of the House of Representatives when, and shall not be such electoral divisions until, enacted as law by the National Assembly. (4) When the Elections and Boundaries Commission considers it necessary to increase the number of electoral divisions as specified in subsection (1) of this section, it shall make proposals to the National Assembly, and the National Assembly may enact a law to give effect to such proposals, with such amendments and modifications as may seem appropriate to the National Assembly.
