    "content": "GUIDELINES ON CONSIDERATION OF THE DRAFT ELECTIONS (REGISTRATION OF VOTERS) REGULATIONS I would like to guide the House on the procedure which shall apply to the consideration of the Draft Elections (Registration of Voters) Regulations, 2012 appearing under Order No.8. The regulations will be considered in two stages, first, when the Order for the Motion is read, I will call upon the Minister to move the Motion. Once seconded, I will proceed to propose the Question. The purpose of this Motion is to initiate debate on policy and principle of the Draft Regulations and the debate should take a maximum of one hour. Upon conclusion of this debate, the House will dissolve to the Committee of the whole House, in which case the House will, in the Committee, consider each regulation in the Draft Regulations in a manner similar to a Committee stage of a Bill. The purpose of moving into Committee is to enable hon. Members to examine each of the proposed regulations and schedules one after the other and move amendments where necessary as in a Committee Stage of a Bill. In the Committee of the Whole House, I will call upon the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs to move the Motion: “That pursuant to Section 109(3) of the Elections Act, Act.No.24 of 2011, this House approves the Draft Elections (Registration of Voters) Regulations, 2012, laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 30th August, 2012.” This is essentially the Motion for approving the Draft Regulations. The Clerk will read each regulation and schedule one after the other as contained in the Draft Regulations, 2012. At the end of the consideration, the Chair will ask the Minister to move the Motion which is: “That the Committee doth report to the House its consideration of the Draft Election (Registration of Voters) Regulations 2012 and its approval thereof with or without amendments.” If the Question is agreed to, the House will resume, herald in the Third and last phase of the consideration of the Draft Elections Regulations. When the House resumes, the Chair of the Committee of the whole House will report thus: “That the Committee has considered the Draft Elections (Registration of Voters) Regulations, 2012 and approved the same without or with amendments”. Finally, I will call upon the Minister to move the Motion: “That the House do agree with the Committee in the said Report”. After the Motion is seconded, I will propose and later put the Question for the decision of the House, indicating the conclusion of the matter. I thank you. PROCEDURE OF BUSINESS ON THE ORDER PAPER Hon. Members, I have a further Communication with respect to how we will proceed with the business hereafter as appears on the Order Paper."
