REPORT
Since lodging my initial amendment I have been able to obtain from the records held
by the States Greffe the number of eligible voters for each Vingtaine, and in order to
balance the 3 Districts as closely as possible, delete Vingtaine Haut du Mont au Prêtre
from St. Helier District 2 and insert it in St. Helier District 1 as illustrated below.

The intention is to have all 3 Districts as close to 8,953 eligible voters as possible; this
can be adjusted further (if required), by Regulations, once the Law is passed.
Financial and manpower implications
The change in the proposed boundaries has no additional resource implications
beyond those set out in my amendment (P.64/2013 Amd(2)).
