I'm pleased to see that the Justice Committee has adopted some of the suggestions made by submitters and has recommended some helpful changes to this current bill. That includes making it clear that ballot boxes should be accompanied at all times by polling place officials, adding terrorism as a particular example of unforeseen or unavoidable disruption that may warrant the Electoral Commission using emergency measures to protect the integrity of the electoral process, and requiring the Electoral Commission to inform both the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition if there is an adjournment of polling because of an unforeseen or unavoidable disruption.
