The Electoral Commission is set up by this law. You can think of the Electoral Commission as a Crown entity, which means it is an organisation that works for the government, as described in section 7 of the Crown Entities Act 2004. The Crown Entities Act 2004 applies to the Electoral Commission, except where this law says otherwise.

The Electoral Commission set up by this law is a different body from another Electoral Commission established by section 4. This law makes the Electoral Commission a separate organisation. You should know that the Electoral Commission has its own role, which is different from other organisations with similar names.

The law that sets up the Electoral Commission is part of a bigger system that includes the Crown Entities Act 2004. This system helps the government work with organisations like the Electoral Commission. You can find more information about the Crown Entities Act 2004 by looking at the law itself.
