Constituencies


When parliamentary elections to the Althing have been announced, the National Electoral Commission shall determine the Reykjavík constituency boundaries based on the population register of the National Registry five weeks before the election day, cf. paragraph 1 of Article 23. The boundaries shall be determined based on the number of voters of either constituency for each parliamentary seat; with the adjustment seats taken into account, being more or less of equal numbers. Care should be taken, as far as is feasible, that each constituency forms a continuous whole.


The National Electoral Commission announces the boundaries for the constituencies in the Government Gazette as soon as they have been determined, and no later than four weeks before election day.1)
