"The Attorney-General Michael Atkinson will today introduce legislation to Parliament to increase voter participation in elections and bring election laws up to date with modern times.
“The Electoral Bill lays out the laws about how political parties are registered, what rules they operate by and how elections are run, as well as who can vote and how voting is conducted,” he said.
“These measures will give homeless people a voice at the ballot box for the first time and help to improve the participation of young people at election time.
“It also takes into account modern times – with measures to protect people from unwanted mass marketing, deter sham political parties and include Internet advertising in existing laws."
