Manitoba Electoral Redistribution, 2008

The Manitoba electoral redistribution of 2008 started on April 14, 2008 when Manitoba's Electoral Divisions Boundaries Commission made up of Manitoba Chief Justice Richard J. Scott, Chief Electoral Officer Richard D. Balasko, President and Vice-Chancellor of the University College of the North Denise K. Henning, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Professor of Political Studies at the University of Manitoba Richard Sigurdson, and President and Vice-Chancellor at Brandon University Louis Visentin released the population counts of the 1998 electoral boundaries based on Census 2006 population counts provided by Statistics Canada.[1] The Pas was the only riding not to have its boundaries be changed. The Electoral Divisions Boundaries Commission released its report after months of public consultation and deliberation.

These boundaries first took effect in the 2011 election of the Manitoba Legislature.

New Ridings
gollark: Why not?
gollark: That's just an oddly tall rectangle.
gollark: Well that's heresy.
gollark: Anyway, it annoys me slightly that I can't actually vote in this election, but my vote does not actually count very much at all anyway because first-past-the-post is awful.
gollark: I hope they don't go ahead with the plan to cut homeless people in half.
