Electoral Amendment Bill
Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.
This bill makes a number of minor changes to the Electoral Act 1993 that will rationalise and clarify the law, help improve services to voters, and assist with the smooth delivery of elections.MP in charge
