When the Falkland Islands population are asked to vote in a General Election in November, not only will they be voting for a new Legislative Council, but also on a major Constitutional change. After a long period of consultation it has been decided to ask the voters if they wish to abolish the current two-constituency system and in future opt for a Single Constituency within the Islands.
