The group tasked with redrawing the province’s electoral map has released an interim report.
The Electoral Boundaries Commission had to consider how to balance minority representation for Nova Scotians of African and Acadian descent, account for a shift in population away from rural areas into the city and consider the geography of the region.
The commission has come up with four alternatives including splitting the controversial Queens/Shelburne riding to restore the former Queens boundaries.
Another round of public consultations will begin in January.
The commission needs to present a single set of boundaries to the House of Assembly by April 1.
