Comments and Feedback
This publication has been prepared with reference to the electoral maps made available by the Electoral Districts Commission. However, without access to registered voter lists indicating where people cast their vote, and given the scale on some maps, re-allocating booths to new electorates is an imprecise science, especially where booths have to be split. Comments and suggestions on the transfer of polling places is most welcome. Messages can be e-mailed to me at [email protected].
