C-36 - Act respecting the Standing Commission on Reform of the Electoral Districts

Section 8 Disposition versions

1977-12-31

8. The Commission must, taking into account the number of electoral districts in Québec and the area of each, ensure that each electoral district includes 32,000 electors and for that purpose it must take into account the factors of variation in the population; it may, however, allow electoral districts in which the number of electors is greater or less than that number by not more than twenty-five per cent, whevener it considers it necessary by reason of the population density.

The Commission may depart from the rules set out in the first paragraph for exceptional reasons of a demographic and geographic nature such as the very low population density, the relative growth rate of the population of a region, its accessibility, area or shape.
