About this statute

This provision is the Elections Act table of contents and consolidation information, listing the Act’s main election rules and topics. This part defines key election terms and sets basic rules for who may vote, how residence is treated, and how election officers are appointed and sworn. This provision gives the chief electoral officer broad powers and duties, including administering elections, directing election officers, appointing key officers, and staying politically neutral. The chief electoral officer manages the voters’ register, can ask a party to confirm or update its registration details, and may cancel a party’s registration in specified cases. Parties and candidates must follow rules for endorsement statements, while people may access or exclude their own register information. This part sets rules for election enumeration, special ballots, and nomination timing, including duties for enumerators, returning officers, and the chief electoral officer.
