The Boundaries Commission is set to resume its deliberations on new electoral rules today.

Empowered by an Order In Council, which came into effect last summer, to make recommendations on the number, and boundaries, of new constituencies in a revamped single seat electoral system, the Commission will hold its first meeting with the public on Thursday at the St. Paul Centennial Hall at 7.30 p.m.

Over a dozen written submissions have been sent in by members of the public, according to Commission Secretary Clevelyn Crichlow.

The Commission consists of two members from the United Bermuda Party - Pamela Gordon and John Barritt; two from the ruling Progressive Labour Party - Dame Lois Brown Evans and Eugene Cox; Sir Brian Smedley, its judicial member and chairman Sir Frank Blackman.
