COMMITTEE MOTION 82-17(5): SPECIAL VOTING OPPORTUNITIES, CARRIED

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I move that Section 152 to 162 of the Elections and Plebiscites Act be repealed as well as all other references to “an advanced poll”; and further, that the Chief Electoral Officer provide the Assembly with detailed recommendations to establish a new special voting opportunity for communities without a resident returning officer, similar to voting in the office of the returning officer. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. The motion is in order. To the motion.
