This deals with delimitation of constituencies and wards using appropriate technologies and approaches. I am proposing the removal of the term âappropriate technologies and approachesâ.

(1A): âThe use of appropriate technology and approaches in the performance of its functionsâ so that appropriate technologies, for example, in the registration is okay. Any other appropriate technology is also okay. However, we are worried about the link to delimitation because that section just deals with delimitation.
