A government panel on Wednesday set out recommendations on revising electoral districts in the House of Representatives, aiming to reduce the disparate weighting of votes between densely and sparsely populated areas.
Based on 2015 census results and population projections for 2020, the plan would bring the maximum disparity in the value of votes to around 1.9 to 1, down from the 2.13-to-1 gap in the 2014 Lower House election that the Supreme Court ruled was "in a state of unconstitutionality."
A 2-to-1 vote disparity is the threshold beyond which the top court would consider problematic from a constitutional point of view.
