Illustration for Electoral Act 1993

If you are a Judge and you are appointed to the Electoral Commission board, it does not change your job as a Judge. You still keep your same rank, title, and pay, and you have the same rights and privileges as before. When you work as a member of the Electoral Commission board, it is considered part of your job as a Judge.
