Redistribution is a whole-of-State process. The Electoral Districts Redistribution Panel’s primary task is to distribute the enrolled electors evenly across New South Wales and comments on submissions about individual electoral districts must be balanced with this goal. It is a preference of the Redistribution Panel that comments on submissions contain alternative solutions rather than simply criticism. Example comments include:
-
I object to the submission <reference number> for the following reasons… My alternative is…
-
I support the submission <reference number> for the following reasons…
The Redistribution Panel may hold a public hearing. Under section 26(3) of the Electoral Act 2017, further submissions may be made to the Redistribution Panel at any public hearing by or on behalf of any person who, or organisation that, lodged a submission or comment on a submission relating to the draft determination.
