Законодательный орган
Legislative body
Законодательный совет Сент-Елены — это однопалатный законодательный орган Сент-Елены, являющейся составной частью Британской заморской территории Сент-Елены, Вознесения и острова Тристан-да-Кунья. Среди жителей острова совет часто называют "LegCo". Законодательный совет состоит из 15 членов: 12 избранных членов, занимающих должность в течение четырех лет и избираемых всенародным голосованием; Спикера и Заместителя Спикера, избираемых избранными членами; и одного члена по должности – Генерального прокурора. Члены Совета используют суффикс "MLC" (член Законодательного совета) и иногда называются советниками.
The Legislative Council of Saint Helena is the unicameral legislature of Saint Helena, a constituent part of the British Overseas Territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha. The council itself is often referred to as "LegCo" by islanders. The Legislative Council consists of 15 members: 12 elected members who serve a four year term and are elected by popular vote; a Speaker and Deputy Speaker, chosen by the elected members; and one ex officio member, the Attorney General. Members of the Council use the suffix "MLC" (Member of the Legislative Council), and are sometimes referred to as Councillors.
Избирательные округа
Сент-Елена разделена на восемь районов, каждый из которых имеет общественный центр. Районы также служат статистическими подразделениями и избирательными округами. В настоящее время все двенадцать избранных членов Законодательного совета (MLC) представляют весь остров как единый избирательный округ. Ранее существовали два избирательных округа – «Восток» и «Запад», и каждый округ был представлен шестью избранными членами. До этого было восемь избирательных округов. Четыре наиболее населённых района (а именно, Хэлф-Три-Холлоу, Джеймстаун, Лонгвуд и Сент-Полс) направляли в Законодательный совет по два представителя. Остальные районы (а именно, Лес Аларм, Блю-Хилл, Левелвуд и Санди-Бей) направляли по одному представителю.
Saint Helena is divided into eight districts, each with a community centre. The districts also serve as statistical subdivisions and electoral areas. Currently, all twelve elected MLCs represent the entire island as a single constituency. Previously, there were two constituencies (electoral districts) – "the East" and "the West", and each constituency had six Elected Members. Prior to that there were eight constituencies. The four most populated districts (i. e., Half Tree Hollow, Jamestown, Longwood, and St Paul's) each sent two representatives to the Legislative Council. The remaining districts (i. e., Alarm Forest, Blue Hill, Levelwood, and Sandy Bay) sent one representative each. +Electoral districts of Saint Helena District Area Pop. (Population) (1998) Pop.
