Criterios para límites de distritos electorales
Pregunta ¿Qué criterios se usan para establecer los límites de los distritos electorales?
Respuestas
a . 'Equivalencia' de población b . De acuerdo a límites o barreras naturales e . Extensión geográfica de los distritos f . Según comunidades culturales o de interés
Respuestas The division of the province into electoral districts shall proceed on the basis that the population of each electoral district in the province as a result thereof shall, as close as reasonably possible, correspond to the electoral quota for the province. In determining reasonable electoral boundaries the Commissions shall consider the size of the population (plus or minus 25%) along with the community of interest, the community of identity and historical patterns of an electoral district. Districts in sparsely populated, rural or northern regions of the province must remain of a manageable geographic size. Equality of population is a primary criterion, but there is no clear-cut prioritization of the other criteria. Court decisions have ensured that community of interest must be taken into account.
