How does Matt Jeneroux's voting record line up with your values?

Your recommendations reports from the 2019 and 2021 general elections included a prohibition on providing false, misleading information in nomination papers, which is contained in Bill. Is it your understanding that this would cover a scenario where someone signs a nomination paper that doesn't have the candidate's name on it?

In response to a question in the first hour today, it is my understanding that the charter argument referenced by theand the Chief Electoral Officer relates to freedom of
Can you talk to us about the penalties provided for under the CEA for misuse of the list of electors, and what those would be?
Great, that's similar to the testimony we heard earlier this week. I also want to understand.... If your investigation reveals a contravention of the CEA, you have a range of tools that are available to you at your discretion. Could you help us understand what factors you consider when determining whether to issue a letter, a notice of violation or an AMP, or whether to lay a criminal charge?
