This bill amends and updates Part 6 of the Broadcasting Act 1989, which regulates election programmes on television and radio, to enable political parties to communicate with voters through digital media more flexibly and cost-effectively, while maintaining existing safeguards and restrictions.

This bill makes a number of minor changes to the Electoral Act 1993 that will rationalise and clarify the law, help improve services to voters, and assist with the smooth delivery of elections.
