The District Electoral Areas Commissioner (Northern Ireland) Order 2012
This Order makes provision for the appointment of a District Electoral Areas Commissioner (“DEAC”) in Northern Ireland. In 2008 a Local Government Boundaries Commissioner (“LGBC”) was appointed by the Department of the Environment (Northern Ireland) to make recommendations regarding the boundaries, names and wards of the new 11 local government districts. The wards in those districts, once established, will need grouping into electoral areas for the purposes of elections to those areas using the single transferrable vote form of proportional representation.
