✨ Electoral Boundary Proposals

years after the census on which they are based) because there will be insufficient time between the 2001 census and the 2002 election to prepare and implement new ones. The boundaries presently proposed therefore have an expected life of six years (1999 – 2005).

Mr Russell’s submission sets out details of changes which could be made to the proposed electoral districts which he believes would significantly ameliorate this defect. Mr Russell considers that electorates should ideally be set so that their populations are as close as possible to equality at the end of that period.

The suggested changes have the effect of increasingly typical population levels (by the 1996 census definition) in most electoral districts in the Southern North Island, and decreasing typical population levels in Auckland electoral districts – in line with population projections supplied by Statistics New Zealand.

While the effects on individual electorates would be mixed, Mr Russell believes that these suggested changes would be, overall, at least as satisfactory in regard to community of interest and other criteria in S.35(3)(f) as the proposed boundaries.
