Preamble
WHEREAS—
A. Section 143(1) of the Electoral Act 1993 requires the nomination of a person as a candidate for election for any electoral district (in this preamble referred to as a constituency candidate) to be by a nomination paper in form 9 in Schedule 2 to the Act; and
B. Section 145(1)(b) of the Act requires the Returning Officer to reject the nomination of any constituency candidate if the nomination paper does not state that the candidate is a registered elector of a specified electoral district, or, where section 49 of the Act applies, is a qualified elector of a specified electoral district; and
C. Form 9 in Schedule 2 to the Act does not make sufficient provision for the statement required by section 145(1)(b) of the Act; and
D. Returning Officers have accepted nominations for constituency candidates for the election to be held on the 12th day of October 1996 that do not contain the statement required by section 145(1)(b) of the Act; and
E. It is desirable that such nominations be validated:
NOW, THEREFORE, PURSUANT to section 266 of the Electoral Act 1993, His Excellency the Governor-General, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council, hereby makes the following order.
1 Title and commencement
-
(1) This order may be cited as the Electoral (Validation of Nominations) Order 1996.
(2) This order shall come into force on the 24th day of September 1996.
2 Interpretation
In this order,—
The Act means the Electoral Act 1993
constituency candidate has the same meaning as it has in the Act.
3 Nominations validated
Notwithstanding anything in section 145(1)(b) of the Act, no nomination of any constituency candidate for the election to be held on the 12th day of October 1996—
(a) made by a nomination paper in form 9 in Schedule 2 to the Act; and
(b) accepted under section 145 of the Act by the Returning Officer—
shall be invalid on the ground that the nomination paper does not state that the candidate is a registered elector of a specified electoral district, or, where section 49 of the Act applies, is a qualified elector of a specified electoral district.
MARIE SHROFF,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
