Wards are defined under the Local Electoral Act 2001 and result from dividing a territorial authority for electoral purposes. The ward system was designed to allow for the recognition of communities within a territorial author</SPAN><SPAN>it</SPAN><SPAN>y and to increase community involvement int he local government system.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Territorial authorities can now choose whether they would like to maintain electoral wards. As a result the number of wards has steadily decreased sing they were first created in 1989. Ward boundaries are reviewed in the year before the three-yearly local government elections.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Wards are numbered based on their corresponding territorial authority. Each ward has a unique five-digit number. The first three digits represent the territorial authority that the ward lies within.
