THAT, Clause 72 of the Bill be deleted.

26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly:
I propose that we delete the entire clause. The Committee felt this was a very dangerous provision in the law because if you outlaw the use of loud speakers, then we will not campaign.

26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly:
This is basically to make sure that the Electoral Commission can only postpone elections where the offences which have been committed are of a nature that would make the election impossible or to proceed. The Electoral Commission is not allowed to postpone an election on flimsy grounds. The other one of deleting Subclause (4) is to ensure that the results of elections are declared only after the results have been received by the Electoral Commission in total.

26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I think there is no problem with the first one as I heard it from the Minister, but let me just read the second amendment that the Committee proposed. We propose to delete Subclause (4) which reads: “Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the Commission may, if satisfied that the results of the elections will not be affected by voting in the area in respect of which substituted dates have been appointed, direct that a return of the election be made.” This is to ensure that we do not disenfranchise some voters in participating in elections.
