Proposed, not law. The 91 ridings are the Independent Advisory Panel's map (Sessional Paper 637/2025-26, October 2026). On 4 Nov 2026 the Legislative Assembly agreed to Government Motion 45 (45-36), concurring in the panel's proposals and urging the Government to introduce a Bill; no enacting Bill had been introduced as of 11 Nov 2026. Boundaries here are an unofficial digitization of the panel's Appendix 8 maps.
