Electoral law changes

Paul Goldsmith announced some changes to electoral law. The more useful ones are:

• Consider removing the requirement for a street address in promoter statements in light of personal safety and security concerns of people participating in the election.
• Consider amending the cut-off date for enrolments and updates to enrolment details to be prior to polling day.
• Consider whether electoral law should move towards a single voting period. 

All sensible stuff. A big focus needs to be on getting final results as soon as possible after election day. Ridiculous to wait three weeks for final results when you have also had advance voting for three weeks. Cut off enrolments a week before election day (which is still two weeks after advance voting starts and require all ballots to be received by election day, so we can get results within 48 hours.
