This document is the signed Electoral Legislation Amendment (Miscellaneous Measures) Regulations 2021, made by the Governor-General on 15 April 2021 on the advice of the Federal Executive Council. The regulations, administered by the Assistant Minister for Electoral Matters, amend the Electoral and Referendum Regulation 2016 and the Electronic Transactions Regulations 2020. Key changes include replacing the term "sight-impaired" with "electronically assisted" in the definition of electronically assisted voting method, and inserting a new definition for "registered electronically assisted voter." The instrument commenced the day after registration and was made under authority of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, the Referendum (Machinery Provisions) Act 1984, and the Electronic Transactions Act 1999.
