The following is issued on behalf of the Electoral Affairs Commission:

     The Electoral Affairs Commission (EAC) will hold three public forums next week on its provisional recommendations on the boundaries and names of the constituencies for the 2015 District Council Ordinary Election. Members of the public are welcome to attend any one of them to express their views.

     "Both supporting and dissenting views are welcome," a Commission spokesman said today (July 3).

     The public consultation exercise started on June 26 and continues until July 25.

     The Commission will submit its final recommendations to the Chief Executive after taking into account representations received during the consultation period.
