under the Electoral Provisions Ordinance except that, for
the 1985 election only, those who would have been eligible
to so register will be accepted for registration under this
Bill. Clause 14 restricts the plural registration of
persons who would otherwise be entitled to be registered
in more than one electoral college constituency or
functional constituency. However, this restriction
does not prevent trade unions being registered in both
Labour electoral divisions because the Labour functional
constituency will return 2 elected Members. Clause 15
sets out the various disqualifications from voting
(e.g. committing a corrupt or illegal practice or serving
a sentence of imprisonment).
8. Part IV (clauses 16 to 19) deals with the
registration of electors.
9. Clause 16 provides for the appointment of a
registration officer and assistant registration officers.
Clause 17 provides for the coming into force of a final
register of electors and permits the registration officer
to correct any minor errors in that register such as
incorrect names or addresses. Clause 18 provides for the
appointment of a revising officer to hear appeals from
the decisions of the registration officer. Clause 19
provides that the Governor in Council may make regulations
relating to the registration of electors, the form of the
registers etc.
