202AE  How this Act applies in relation to voting using the electronically assisted voting method

 (1) This Act (other than Part XVA and Schedule 2) applies in relation to a vote cast using the electronically assisted voting method as if the vote were a pre‑poll vote.

Note: Pre‑poll votes are a kind of declaration vote. This Act will therefore apply to votes cast using the electronically assisted voting method as if they were that kind of declaration vote.

 (2) For the purposes of this Act as it applies because of subsection (1):
 (a) a vote record is to be treated as if it were a pre‑poll vote ballot‑paper; and
 (b) the placing of a vote record in an envelope as mentioned in subsection 202AD(2) is to be treated as if it were the placing of a ballot‑paper in an envelope under subsection 200E(6); and
 (c) a declaration on an envelope as mentioned in subsection 202AD(2) is to be treated as if it were a pre‑poll vote certificate; and
 (d) a record made as mentioned in section 202AC is to be treated as if it were a record made under subsection 200G(2).

 (3) If a person casts a vote using the electronically assisted voting method, the requirements of this Act relating to the person's right to receive a ballot‑paper are taken to have been satisfied.

 (4) The regulations may make additional provisions relating to how this Act applies in relation to votes cast using the electronically assisted voting method.
