Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Regulations 2009

An electoral official conducting a ballot must make the roll available for inspection during ordinary business hours at the place where the electoral official carries out the electoral official’s duties in relation to the ballot, in the period starting the day after the day when the roll was closed under paragraph 88(3)(c) and ending 30 days after the declaration of the result of the ballot.

The electoral official must make the roll available for inspection by:

a member of the amalgamated organisation; and

any other person authorised by the electoral official.

Despite paragraph 88(3)(b), the roll made available to a person mentioned in paragraph (2)(a) or (b) of this regulation, other than to a member of the constituent part who is entitled to vote at the ballot, must contain only the name of each person on the roll.

Only an electoral official may copy the roll.

The roll may be kept, and copies may be supplied, electronically.

If a copy of a roll, or a copy of part of a roll, is made or supplied under this regulation, a person must not use information in the roll for a purpose other than:

a purpose in connection with the ballot; or

to monitor the accuracy of the information contained in the roll.

If a person (the first person) obtains information about another person from a roll under this Division, the first person must not:

use the information to contact or send material to the other person, unless the first person is expressly authorised by the Act or this Division to contact or send material to the other person; or

disclose the information knowing that the information is likely to be used to contact or send material to the other person.

This subregulation is a civil penalty provision (see regulation 168).

The AEC must advise the General Manager of a possible contravention of subregulation (5) not later than 21 days after the AEC has become aware of the possible contravention.
