If you've asked to speak at a public hearing
If you’ve asked to speak at a hearing, the Representation Commission will contact you once the submission period has closed. Sometimes video calls or similar arrangements may be necessary.
Making your objection or counter-objection at a public hearing gives you the opportunity to reinforce what you said in your written submission. It also gives the Representation Commission the opportunity to clarify points you raise in your submission.
When you’ll find out the final boundaries
The Representation Commission will consider all submissions, then publish its report on the final boundaries on 8 August 2025.
