    Interim Report 18 January, 2013

    Northwest Territories Electoral Boundaries Commission Interim Report 18 January, 2013 To the Residents of the Northwest Territories: In Canada, we live in a democracy where citizens elect their representatives. Representation is fundamental to electoral democracy. Citizens elect their representatives from geographic constituencies. The shapes of these constituencies – known as electoral districts or ridings – are determined when electoral boundaries are drawn. The Legislative Assembly appointed us to review the electoral boundaries of the Northwest Territories. This review is to ensure that all northerners are meaningfully represented in the Legislative Assembly. The Legislative Assembly asked the Commission to recommend how the electoral boundaries should be drawn if there are 18, 19, or 21 electoral districts. As part of the review of the electoral boundaries, we have prepared this Interim Report which contains a set of proposals for the electoral boundaries of the Northwest Territories. The Commission wants to know what northerners think about the electoral boundaries proposed in this Interim Report. There are multiple ways for northerners to comment on these proposals. Public Hearings: Speak at a public hearing between February 4th and March 13th in communities across the territory. Online: Submit comment on-line at www.nwtboundaries.ca Letters: Send a letter to the Commission (see page 28 for contact information). Your input is an important part of this process, and we look forward to hearing from you. Hon. Justice Shannon Smallwood
