Electoral areas in the city.
|
33.—(1) As soon as may be after the passing of this Act and before the day of election, the Minister shall by order—
|
|
| |
(a) divide the area consisting of the Existing City, the added urban districts, and the added rural area into five borough electoral areas which shall be the borough electoral areas in the City for the purposes of the Local Government (Ireland) Act, 1919, and
|
|
| |
(b) prescribe the number of ordinary members of the City Council to be elected for each of such borough electoral areas and shall so prescribe such number as to secure, so far as is practicable, that the number of members so assigned to each such area shall be such as to give equal representation upon the basis of population.
|
|
| |
(2) Every local government elector registered as such within the added rural area or within either of the added urban districts shall be entitled (subject to any disqualification imposed by law) to vote at the election of ordinary members at the city election held in the year 1930.
|
|
| |
(3) The following provisions shall have effect in relation to the election of ordinary members at the city election to be held in the year 1930, that is to say:—
|
|
| |
(a) every polling district existing at the passing of this Act which is wholly within a borough electoral area prescribed by the said order shall be a polling district for the purposes of such election, and every polling place so existing in any such polling district shall be a polling place for the purposes of such election;
|
|
| |
(b) in the case of a polling district existing at the passing of this Act which is not wholly within any borough electoral area prescribed by the said order, each part of such polling district wholly within any such borough electoral area shall be a separate polling district for the purposes of such election, and the polling places in each such last-mentioned separate polling district at such election shall be such places (whether within or outside such district) as shall be appointed for the purpose by the returning officer at such election.
