SCHEDULE 3.

Regulations for the Redivision of the Colony for Electoral Purposes.

(See section XV.)

1. The total number of voters, as ascertained from the list framed under The Transvaal Constitution Order in Council, 1906," divided by sixty-nine shall be the quota of voters for the Colony.

2. If the total number of voters, as shown by the list of voters on which the redivision is to be made, exceeds the total number of voters, as ascertained from the list framed under "The Transvaal Constitution Order in Council, 1906," by an amount equal to the quota of voters for the Colony, or some whole multiple thereof, the number of electoral divisions shall be increased over and above sixty-nine by one, or by a number equal to such multiple, as the case may be, provided that the number of electoral divisions shall in no case exceed seventy-five, and shall not be less than the number existing at the date of such redivision.

3. In dividing the Colony into electoral divisions, the Commissioners shall ascertain the number of voters, as shown by the lists on which a redivision is to be made, in each of the following areas:

(a.) The Witwatersrand Magisterial District as at present defined; (b.) Pretoria Urban, which shall include the whole of the area to which six members have been allotted in the First Schedule of the Letters Patent;

(c.) The area consisting of the whole of the Colony, after excluding therefrom the areas mentioned in (a) and (b);

and shall allot to each such area a number of members of the Legislative Assembly proportionate to the number of voters therein. The quotient obtained by dividing the number of voters in each such area by the number of members to which it is entitled is hereinafter referred to as the quota of voters for the area.

4. The Commissioners shall thereupon proceed to allot, in manner hereinafter prescribed, a number of members to each of the magisterial districts at present existing, and as at present defined, situated in the area mentioned in sub-section (c) of the last preceding Regulation (and for this purpose the Magisterial District of Pretoria shall consist of the said district as at present defined, less the area mentioned in subsection (b) of the last preceding Regulation), and to each of the five parts (hereinafter referred to as an equivalent part) into which the Witwatersrand Magisterial District has been divided by the Commissioners mentioned in section 8 of the Letters Patent.

5. If the number of voters in any such magisterial district, or equivalent part, as aforesaid is less than one half the quota of voters for the area as above defined, no member shall be returned by such district or part, but it shall be included in such adjoining district or part as the Commissioners may determine for the purpose of allotting the number of members to be returned by such adjoining district or part, in accordance with the principles laid down in the following Regulations.

6. If the number of voters in such magisterial district or equivalent part as aforesaid is not less than one-half the quota of voters for the area, but less than one-and-a-half times such quota, one member of the Legislative Assembly shall be returned by such district or part.

7. If the number of voters in any such district or part as aforesaid is not less than one-and-a-half times the quota of voters for the area, it shall return two members, if not less than two-and-a-half times such quota, three members, if not less than three-and-a-half times such quota, four members, and so on in like manner and proportion: provided that

the total number of members allotted to the several magisterial districts or parts situated within any area mentioned in Regulation (3) shall not be greater nor less than the number of members allotted to such area as provided in that Regulation; and if such first-mentioned number of members be greater or less than the second-mentioned number of members, the Commissioners shall rectify such inequality by reducing or increasing as the case may be the number of members allotted to such of the several districts or parts within such area as in the opinion of the Commissioners ought to be reduced or increased while giving the nearest possible effect to the principles laid down in the preceding Regulations.

8. The Commissioners shall divide each magisterial district included in the area mentioned in sub-section (c) of Regulation (3) (and for this purpose the Magisterial District of Pretoria shall be the district as at present defined less the area described as Pretoria Urban in the said Regulation), and each equivalent part as above defined, and also the area described as Pretoria Urban, into as many electoral divisions as there are members allotted to such district, part, or area respectively.

In making such division the Commissioners shall follow the instructions mentioned in sub-sections (1), (2), and (3) of section 3 of the First Sehedule hereto.

9. If there shall be in any magisterial district situated in the area mentioned in sub-section (3) of Regulation 3 a municipality, within the boundaries of which there shall be a number of voters equal to the quota for the said district or any whole multiple thereof, an electoral division, or a number of electoral divisions equal to such multiple, as the case may be, shall be included in such municipality, each containing (due regard being had to the considerations above-mentioned) a number of voters equal to such quota; and such portion of the municipality as shall not be included in such electoral divisions shall be included in the electoral division adjoining such municipality. If the number of voters in

any such municipality shall not be equal to the quota for the district, the whole of such municipality shall be included in one electoral division.
