The several areas described in Part B of the First Schedule to this Act shall be known as subdistricts of the said district. Wherever in the said Schedule any road, street, or avenue is mentioned as bounding any area therein described, then and in every such case, unless the contrary is stated or implied, the middle line of such road, street, or avenue shall be deemed to be the boundary line.”

The number of persons to be so elected in respect of the several subdistricts shall be as follows:
For the City Subdistrict, nine persons:
For the Waimairi Subdistrict, three persons:

Altering the boundaries of all or any of the subdistricts:
Provided that in so altering the boundaries of any subdistrict the Electoral Commission shall ensure that such altered boundaries coincide with the boundaries of a city or borough or county or of a defined riding of a county;
“(b)
Naming or re-naming any subdistrict; and
“(c)
Altering the number of members of the board representing any subdistrict in such manner as to keep the representation of the various subdistricts as nearly as may be proportioned to the population thereof but so that the total number of members of the Board shall not exceed fifteen.
“(3)
The report of any such Electoral Commission appointed under subsection (2) hereof shall be published in the Gazette within twenty-eight days after the said report shall be communicated to the Board and upon such report being so published the district shall ipso facto be divided into the subdistricts named in and with the boundaries specified in such report, and with the right to representation on the Board as is therein set out.
“(4)
Where one or more members of the Board are to be elected by all or some only of the electors of a county or borough (herein referred to as a constituent district) the election shall be held in the same manner as the ordinary general election of members of the local authority of that constituent district and all the provisions of the Local Elections and Polls Act 1966 and of all other Acts affecting the mode of election of members of that local authority shall so far as they are applicable and are not inconsistent with this Act and with the necessary modifications apply accordingly and the returning officer of the constituent district shall be the returning officer for the purposes of the election:
“Provided that where any such election is to be made by electors of two or more local authorities forming a constituent district, the Board may select and appoint one of those local authorities to be the principal authority for the purposes of such election, in which event the returning officer of such principal authority shall be the returning officer of the constituent district.
“(5)
The existing roll or rolls of any city, borough, or county shall be used for the purposes of any election hereunder.
“(6)
The reasonable cost of every election under this Act that is not held simultaneously with the election of members of any local authority, and the reasonable additional cost incurred by a local authority in respect of any election under this Act that is held simultaneously with the election of members of the local authority (except in every case the expenses of scrutineers and other expenses incurred by or on behalf of candidates) shall be paid by the Board and any dispute arising as to the amount to be so paid to any local authority under this section shall be determined by the Audit Office, the decision of which in any such dispute shall be final.”
5 Qualification of electors
The principal Act is hereby amended by repealing section 16, and substituting the following section:
“16
Where an election by the electors of any subdistrict or part thereof is to be held or taken, every person shall be deemed to be an elector of that subdistrict who, if the said subdistrict or part thereof as the case may be were a borough, would be qualified to be enrolled as an elector of the borough, or, if the said subdistrict or part thereof were a county, would be qualified to be enrolled as an elector of that county.”
