This reminds me very much of the discussion that was had when the requirement was first introduced - its introduction came fom the
Modified Electoral System Act first passed in May 2006. In all the time since, I have never known the 7 day notice requirement to be actually abided by. My favourite part of that original exchange was:
The notice requirement really is a dead letter and ought to be repealed in its entirity, or at least fleshed out as was originally requested so that directive is given in Law for what happens when a SoFA/booth administrator doesn't follow the strictest letter of the Law.
For the record, these very points were raised
a few months ago, but Earl was a bit of a cock to bbf who raised them at the time. It could really do with sorting out.
