Illustration for Electoral Act 1993

If you want to register as an elector, there is a rule about what happens when you apply. You do not need to go through any kind of inquiry to register if your application is received. This rule was part of section 83B, but it is no longer in effect because it was repealed on 25 March 2014 by section 17 of the Electoral Amendment Act 2014, which you can find on the Electoral Amendment Act 2014 page.
