Amendment agreed to.
Clause, as amended, agreed to.
Clause 9
MS FOLLETT (Chief Minister and Treasurer) (5.06): I move:
5. Page 9, line 28, proposed new section 18A, after "Commissioner" insert ", an officer".
Madam Speaker, the purpose of this amendment to clause 9 is to allow the Electoral Commission to delegate to an officer of the commission all or any of its powers other than its powers related to redistributions of electoral boundaries and its powers related to reviewing decisions. This amendment corrects an oversight that was contained in the original draft and it brings the delegation powers of the commission into line with the delegation powers of the Electoral Commissioner.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause, as amended, agreed to.
Clauses 10 to 21, by leave, taken together, and agreed to.
Clause 22
MS FOLLETT (Chief Minister and Treasurer) (5.08): Madam Speaker, I move:
6. Page 14, line 12, proposed new subsection 53(1), after "elector" insert "enrolled at the time the extract is prepared".
The purpose of this amendment is to clarify the meaning of "roll extract" to ensure that roll extracts that are out of date will still fall within the definition of "roll extract". As it stands, it could be argued that a document could not be said to be a roll extract if it did not contain up-to-date elector details. Madam Speaker, this is relevant, for example, for the purposes of making roll extracts available and for limiting the misuse of them. I commend the Government's amendment No. 6 to the Assembly.
Amendment agreed to.
