The Boundaries Report that could rewrite the electoral landscape is expected to be put forward for debate within the next three weeks.

If not put forward in the next three sittings of Parliament, it would not be able to take effect until the House reconvenes in November. This would mean if an election was called, it would be held using the current electoral boundaries.

Premier's spokesman Jamahl Simmons said the report would be put forward for debate soon.

"It is the Government's intention to complete our agenda for this session by the final sitting of Parliament before the summer recess," he said.

While United Bermuda Party leader Kim Swan expressed some concern because the report had not appeared on the House of Assembly's Order Paper, he said he was pleased by the pledge it would be debated soon.

"We consider this to be a matter of urgency given the all-party commitment to the fairest possible reflection of the people's will in the event of an election," said Mr. Swan.

While few believe the changes would shift the balance of power on their own, it could lead to an uphill battle for some MPs, such as Patrice Minors and Zane Desilva, and an easier ride for others.

It will be the first time the electoral map has been redrawn since 2003, when 36 single seat constituencies were created.
