Delimitation of constituencies
Question:Are constituencies delimited for election purposes?
Answer: b. No, existing regional/provincial/other boundaries are used
Comments: "For purposes of electing the deputies of the Assembly of the Republic the electoral territory is organised into constituencies. The constituencies coincide with the administrative areas of the provinces and of Maputo City, take the same names, and are headquartered in the respective provincial capitals. Voters resident outside the country form two constituencies, one for the countries of the African region, and the other for the remaining countries, both with their headquarters in Maputo city." The President is elected from a single country-wide constituency.
