Draft Public A1.  The Committee, with reference to its Minute No. B1 of 23rd January 2008, Elections considered draft comments, prepared by the Committee Clerk, concerning the draft (Amendment Public Elections (Amendment No.3) (Jersey) Law 200- (P.2/2008 refers) and the No.3) (Jersey) draft Public Elections (Amendment No.3) (Jersey) Law 200-: Amendment (P.2/2008 Law 200-. Amd. refers).

424(7)

The Committee concluded that the draft comments encapsulated its views on both the proposition and the amendment; however, it considered that States members might wish to be reminded of the position in a number of other jurisdictions regarding entitlement to vote. To that end it was agreed that the draft comment concerning the principal proposition should be amended to include the appendix which had been presented to  the Assembly in  2007 as part  of the  Committee's comment to the proposition entitled, Electoral Registration: Link to Population Register' (P.68/2007 refers).

The  Committee  approved  the  comment  to  the  draft  Public  Elections (Amendment No.3) (Jersey) Law 200- (P.2/2008 refers), as amended, and the comment to the draft Public Elections (Amendment No.3) (Jersey) Law 200-: Amendment (P.2/2008 Amd. refers). It requested that the Greffier of the States arrange for the comments to be presented to the States on 12th February 2008.
