Code of Virginia, relating to election districts in cities. CH 559)
Approved March 14, 1956
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That §§ 24-44 and 24-45, as amended, of the Code of Virginia be
amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 24-44. Each magisterial district of a county, and each ward of
a city, shall severally consititute an election district, except as otherwise
provided in § 24-45, unless such magisterial district or ward be divided
into more election districts than one, and the elections therein shall be
held at such place or places as may be designated by the proper author-
ities appointed by law for that purpose. The election districts and voting
places as now constituted shall so continue unless and until changed as
hereinafter provided.
§ 24-45. The council of a city shall establish for each ward as
many election districts as it may deem necessary, and a voting place in
each district, except in cities in which officers are elected by wards the
council in its discretion may establish election districts, the location of
which may be within two or more wards. Such districts, except in a city
having a population of more than twenty thousand but less than thirty
thousand inhabitants, shall be established so that there shall not be less
than one election district for every one thousand voters or fractional
part thereof above five hundred. The council shall prescribe and cause
to be published the boundaries of the districts. It may alter the bound-
aries of any such election district, and rearrange, increase, or diminish
the number thereof, and change the voting places or establish others
therein, not to exceed, however, one voting place for each election dis-
trict. No change shall be made in any of the boundaries or voting places
within thirty days next preceding any general election.
