Electoral constituencies
The district had three electoral constituencies:
gollark: What if we support both Python and Brotlipython?
gollark: You essentially did by writing rules which forbid it?
gollark: If you don't, DON'T DO IT, don't demand that everyone drop it because they find different things fun.
gollark: It is a good challenge because some people like it.
gollark: Allegedly. I don't agree with your reasoning. I think it makes it somewhat harder.
