The Commission decides the wards and areas that people vote in. You can find more information about this in the Local Government Act 1974. The section about the Commission doing this was repealed, which means it is no longer part of the law, by section 53(d) of the Local Electoral Amendment Act 2002 on 25 December 2002.
