Illustration for Electoral Act 1993

When the Representation Commission makes a decision about the boundaries of a district, the Surveyor-General must tell the Electoral Commission and other people or groups involved in running the Electoral Act about that decision. You can find out more about how this process starts in section 38. The Surveyor-General must communicate this information to the people or groups specified by the Representation Commission. The people or groups who get this information can only use it for the purposes of the Electoral Act. They cannot use it for any other reason.
