About this statute

This part explains the purpose of the Elections (Amendment) Bill, 2020 and the changes it proposes to election procedures. This bill amends the Elections Act to add a process for identifying very old voters, checking whether listed voters are alive, removing unverified names, and allowing reinstatement on application. This part amends election rules on voters’ census, nomination papers, polling agents, and assistance for incapacitated voters. The provision adds ballot-counting and recordkeeping duties for Assistant Electoral Officers and restricts copying or photographing ballot security features. The Electoral Commission may publish a voting-records analysis report after 6 months, and the report must not include individual information.
