314A Declarations regarding COVID-19 affected classes of electors
The election manager may, if satisfied it is necessary to comply with a public health order, or to reduce the risk of infection from COVID-19, declare, by order published on the election manager’s website, that electors of a specified ward or area are COVID-19 affected electors.
The election manager may also publish a copy of the declaration in other ways the election manager considers necessary to bring the declaration to the attention of the COVID-19 affected electors.
A declaration under subsection (1) must include a notice that informs the specified COVID-19 affected electors that the electors are entitled, but not required, to vote by postal vote, but may instead vote in person at a polling place.
