AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

AMENDMENT OF THE CANBERRA COMMUNITY HOSPITAL BOARD ELECTION REGULATIONS

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

No. 11 of 1959

	In most respects the Canberra Community Hospital Board elections are conducted in accordance with the A.C.T. Advisory Council Election Regulations.

	Consequent upon recent amendments to the A.C.T. Advisory Council Election Regulations altering the number of candidates and providing for grouping of candidates on the ballot-paper it is considered desirable that the Hospital Board Election Regulations be amended.

	The Regulations therefore have been remade and retain the existing number of elected Board members and retain the past form of arranging candidates names, ungrouped, on the ballot-paper.

	Other amendments in the remaking of the Regulations are consequential upon an amendment of the Canberra Community Hospital Ordinance.
