ELECTORAL COMMISSION: COMPOSITION AND TERMS OF REFERENCE (P.5/2012) – AMENDMENT (P.5/2012 Amd.) – AMENDMENT (P.5/2012 Amd.Amd.) – COMMENTS

Presented to the States on 29th February 2012 by the Privileges and Procedures Committee

STATES GREFFE

2012   Price code: A  P.5 Amd.Amd.Com.

COMMENTS

Deputy  R.G.  Le Hérissier  of   St. Saviour 's  amendment  to  his  original  amendment proposes  that  voter  registration  be  removed  from  the  terms  of  reference  of  the Electoral  Commission.  This  is  in  accordance  with  the  Committee's  proposition P.5/2012.

As the Deputy states in his accompanying report, PPC has already established a Sub- Committee to review the Public Elections (Jersey) Law 2002 and voter registration falls within its remit.

The  Sub-Committee  invited  all  States  members  to  attend  a  meeting  on  voter registration with Professor A. Lee on Wednesday 22nd February 2012. The event was well attended and further work will now be carried out by the Sub-Committee in this regard. The Committee is of the majority view that for the Electoral Commission to undertake a parallel review of voter registration would be an unnecessary duplication of workload.
