|
| | | (a) | a notice of intent to recall, signed by a number of persons not less than |
|
| | | the effective number (5% of persons in member’s parliamentary |
|
|
| |
| | |

| |
| | | constituency entitled to vote), in accordance with [section ...] of this Act, |
|

|
| | | (b) | 20% of persons entitled to vote have then validly signed a recall petition |
|
| | | in accordance with [section ...] of this Act. |
|
| | | (3) | In this Act “recall petition” means a petition calling, in terms determined under |
|
| | | section 9(4), for a member to be subject to a recall referendum. |
|
| | | (4) | The member’s seat becomes vacant and a by-election held where, in accordance |
|
| | | with section 15 of this Act, the majority of people who have voted in a recall |
|
| | | referendum, vote in favour of the member being recalled from Parliament. |
|
| | | (5) | The provision made by or under this Act does not affect other ways in which a |
|

|
| | | Member’s explanatory statement
|
|
| | | This amendment changes the Bill to remove the proposed conditions of recall on the grounds of |
|
| | | imprisonment or suspension by the House to the decision making of constituency voters. It sets out |
|
| | | the essential three stages - notice of intent to recall (5% of voters), recall petition (20% of voters) |
|
| | | and then a referendum. Only if all three stages are passed is there a by-election. |
