EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

STATUTORY RULE 1987 NO. 119

Issued by Authority of the Special Minister of State

The Electoral and Referendum Regulations make provision for Commonwealth electoral and referendum administration.

The amending Regulation amends Sub-regulation 78(1) of the Electoral and Referendum Regulations to change the administrative penalty for failure to vote at an election from $2-$4 to $2-$20. The amendment was the subject of a 1986 recommendation by the Joint Select Committee on Electoral Reform which has been accepted by the Government.
