The Îles Tuamotu-Gambier (French: Îles Tuamotu-Gambier or Archipels des Tuamotu et des Gambier or Archipel des Tuamotu-Gambier or Tuamotu-Gambier or officially subdivision administrative des (Îles) Tuamotu-Gambier) is an administrative division in French Polynesia. It consists of the Tuamotus and the Gambier Islands which are geographically located closely together.
Because of a difference between administrative districts and electoral circumscriptions on the Îles Tuamotu-Gambier,
Administrative division
Administratively, the Îles Tuamotu-Gambier form one of the 5
Electoral divisions
Whereas all other 4 administrative subdivisions (subdivisions administratives) of French Polynesia are at the same time also electoral districts/electoral circumscriptions (circonscriptions électorales) for the Assembly of French Polynesia (Assemblée de la Polynésie française), the Îles Tuamotu-Gambier are the only administrative district of French Polynesia that is not identical with an electoral district/electoral circumscription, but consists of 2 different electoral districts/electoral circumscriptions for the Assembly of French Polynesia.
These 2 electoral districts/electoral circumscriptions (circonscriptions électorales) are:
- electoral circumscription of the communes Anaa, Fangatau, Hao, Hikueru, Makemo, Napuka, Nukutavake, Pukapuka, Reao, Tatakoto and Tureia in the eastern part of the Tuamotus.
- electoral circumscription of the communes Arutua, Fakarava, Manihi, Rangiroa and Takaroa in the western part of the Tuamotus.
