Electoral Act 1992

This section applies to an inquiry into a preselection ballot started under former section 168, but not completed, before the commencement.

Despite the repeal of former part 9—

for an inquiry initiated by the commission under former section 168(1)(a), the commission may complete and report on the inquiry as if former part 9 were still in force; and

for an inquiry initiated by a complaint under former section 168(1)(b) from a candidate or a party member who was eligible to vote in the preselection ballot, the commission must complete and report on the inquiry as if former part 9 were still in force.

Despite its repeal, former section 168 applies in relation to an inquiry conducted under this section.
