Belize is divided into 6 districts.

Main article: Constituencies of Belize

Belize's Districts are further divided into 31 Constituencies. Each constituency sends one representative to Belize's House of Representatives to 5-year terms. This election is known as the General Election. Each person (who is eligible to vote) votes for the candidate they would want to represent their constituency in Central Government. Each political party nominates a candidate, or Standard Bearer, for each constituency.

Constituencies are divided in such a way that their voting population be as equal as possible to each other ensuring, theoretically, that resources are equally shared among the country's citizens. Since the last General Elections (2003) two additional constituencies have been created from territory of existing constituencies in order to further ensure the equality of the voting populations among the constituencies. The new constituencies (Belmopan, and Cayo North East) are both in the Cayo District. These new constituencies should hold their first-ever election during the next General Election to be held in 2008.
