Boundaries of constituencies in Reykjavík.
When a general election to the Althingi has been called, the National Electoral Commission
shall determine the constituency boundaries in Reykjavík based on the electoral register as at
56 days prior to election day, cf. paragraph 1 of Article 28. The boundaries shall be
determined so as to ensure that the number of voters in each constituency behind each
parliamentary seat, including adjustment seats, is more or less equal. Steps shall be taken to
ensure, as far as possible, that each constituency forms a continuous whole.
The National Electoral Commission shall publish the boundaries of the constituencies in
the Government Gazette as soon as they have been determined. An official notice by the
National Electoral Commission also applies in presidential elections and referendums held
until the next general elections to the Althingi.
