(1) Subject to this section, each electoral district shall be divided into polling divisions.
(2) Each polling division shall so far as practicable contain approximately 600 electors taken from the register for that electoral district which shall form the official list of electors for that polling division.
(3) Where the Commission is satisfied that by reason of congestion or the scarcity of the population or other special circumstances it is more convenient so to do, they may despite anything contained in subsection (2), constitute a polling division containing more or less than 600 electors.
(4) In determining the boundaries of any polling division the Commission shall have regard to geographical considerations and such other factors as may affect the facilities of communication between various places within the polling division.
Editor's note: The polling divisions were altered in 2001 by S.I.117/2001.
(6) The Minister may make regulations providing for the adaptation of any list of electors to any alteration of polling divisions and may make in such regulations special provision for cases where any alteration of polling divisions is made between the publication of any list and the coming into force of any register of electors; but except in cases for which such provision is made by regulations, an alteration of polling divisions made under this section shall not be effective until the revision of the register under section 20 after the alteration is made.
(7) Any decision taken or act done under the foregoing provisions of this section shall be effective as from the date it is approved by the Minister.
