| 释义 |
The Electoral (Amendment) Act, 1961 (No. 19/1961) was a law in Ireland which provided for parliamentary constituencies in the 17th Dáil Éireann.[1] The 17th Dáil was elected at the 1961 general election on 4 October 1961 and dissolved on 18 March 1965. This Act replaced the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1947, which defined the constituencies used for the 13th Dáil (1948–51), 14th Dáil (1951–54), 15th Dáil (1954–57) and 16th Dáil (1957–61). It was itself replaced by the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1969, which created a new pattern of constituencies for the 19th Dáil (elected in 1969). It also reduced the number of seats in the Dáil by 3 from 147 to 144. The Electoral (Amendment) Act 1959 was struck out in 1961 by the Supreme Court as being repugnant to the Constitution of Ireland because of excessive malapportionment. The replacement, the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1961, relied instead on manipulating district size{{#tag:ref|Where the Fianna Fáil party of the then government had less than 50% support, four-seat constituencies were used, so that Fianna Fáil would win two of four seats; where it had more than 50% support, three- or five-seat constituencies would give it two of three, or three of five.[2][3]|group="fn"|name=""}} See also
