[edit] Electoral Districts

  • By the Constitution and Elections Ordinance 1954, which establishes a new Legislative Council with an elected majority, the presidency is divided into five districts. Road Town District (area of the capital) sent two members to the legislative council, the other districts one each.
  • A new constitution of 1967 provided for seven electoral districts, with one representative per district.
