Illustration for Electoral Act 1993

The Chief Registrar needs to be told when a writ is issued. You are involved in this process because the law says so. The Chief Registrar is notified as part of the issue of a writ, which is a part of the Electoral Act 1993, however this specific part of the law was repealed on 1 July 2012 by section 50 of the Electoral (Administration) Amendment Act 2011.
