80H: Modification to application of this Part if section 80G applies

You could also call this:

"How section 80G changes the rules in this part of the law"

If section 80G applies, you need to know how it affects this Part. You will apply section 75(1) differently, by replacing some words. You replace the words "In every year in which Parliament is due to expire" with "At the earliest available opportunity". You also apply section 76(3) differently, by replacing a paragraph with new words. The new words are "a statement that the party was registered on the Register of Political Parties at the time of the dissolution or expiry of Parliament". The Electoral Commission can set a reasonable time for the consultation required under section 77.
