An Act to amend “The Registration of Electors Act 1866.”
Preamble.
WHEREAS by the eighteenth section of an Act of the General Assembly called “The Registration of Electors Act 1866”
it is enacted as follows—“The Judges of the Supreme Court resident in any judicial district of the Supreme Court or if there be more than one such Judge the senior Judge shall in or about the month of March in every year appoint so many competent persons as he may deem necessary who shall be called the Revising Officers to revise the list of voters for that year in the several electoral districts comprised within such judicial district”
And whereas there are electoral districts which are not included wholly within one and the same judicial district and doubts have arisen as to the persons by whom Revising Officers to such districts should be made and it is expedient that so much of the said section as is hereinbefore recited should be repealed and other provision made in lieu thereof
Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled and by the authority of the same as follows—
1 Short Title.
The Short Title of this Act shall be “The Registration of Electors Act Amendment Act 1868.”
2 Part of section 18 of “The Registration of Electors Act 1866”
repealed.
So much of the eighteenth section of “The Registration of Electors Act 1866”
as is hereinbefore recited is hereby repealed and in lieu thereof it is enacted as follows—
Revising Officers how to be elected.
The Judge of the Supreme Court to whom any judicial district is for the time being assigned or if there be more than one Judge assigned to any judicial district then the Judge assigned to such district whose appointment as Judge of the Supreme Court is of earliest date shall in or about the month of March in every year appoint so many competent persons as he may deem necessary who shall be called “the Revising Officers”
to revise the list of voters for that year in the several electoral districts comprised within his judicial district and where any electoral district is not comprised wholly within one and the same judicial district the Revising Officer of and for such electoral district shall be appointed by that one of the several Judges assigned to the several judicial districts within which such electoral district is partly comprised whose appointment as Judge of the Supreme Court is earliest in date.
3 Previous appointments declared valid.
All appointments of Revising Officers heretofore made for the purposes of “The Registration of Electors Act 1866”
by any Judge of the Supreme Court are hereby declared to have been from the making thereof valid and all acts done by such officers to have been valid and effectual from the doing thereof.
4 Act to be read as part of “The Registration of Electors Act 1866.”
This Act shall be construed and read as part of “The Registration of Electors Act 1866.”
