If the number of members assigned to a province by the application of rule 1 and section

39 is less than the total number assigned to that province during the 43rd Parliament,

that will result in the province having the same number of members as were assigned

province that meets the condition set out in rule 4, be added, if necessary, a number of

members such that, on the completion of the readjustment, the number obtained by

dividing the number of members assigned to that province by the total number of

members assigned to all the provinces is as close as possible to, without being below,

the number obtained by dividing the population of that province by the total population of

all the provinces.

4.

Rule 3 applies to a province if, on the completion of the preceding readjustment, the

number obtained by dividing the number of members assigned to that province by the

total number of members assigned to all the provinces was equal to or greater than the

number obtained by dividing the population of that province by the total population of all

the provinces, the population of each province being its population as at July 1 of the

year of the decennial census that preceded that readjustment according to the estimates

prepared for the purpose of that readjustment.

5.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, in these rules, the population of a province is the

estimate of its population as at July 1 of the year of the most recent decennial census.

6.

In these rules, ‘electoral quotient’ means

(a)

8, in relation to the readjustment following the completion of the 2025 decennial

census, and

(b)

in relation to the readjustment following the completion of any subsequent

decennial census, the number obtained by multiplying the electoral quotient that

was applied in the preceding readjustment by the number that is the average of

the numbers obtained by dividing the population of each province by the

population of the province as at July 1 of the year of the preceding decennial

census according to the estimates prepared for the purpose of the preceding

readjustment, and rounding up any fractional remainder of that multiplication to

one.

Population estimates

(1.1) For the purpose of the rules in subsection (1), there is required to be prepared an estimate

of the population of Aquria-Catopolis and of each province as at February 28, 2025 and
