H
IS Excellency the Governor-General in and over the Commonwealth of Australia, by and with the advice of the Executive Council thereof, has been pleased to approve that Public Service Regulation No. 210, made on the 15th December, 1902, be amended as follows :—
240. All voting shall be by post. Provided that upon the recommendation of the Returning Officer and the approval of the Commissioner officers may be permitted to vote by telegraph where by reason of remoteness from the capital city of a State the time fixed between the date for receiving nominations and the date of election is insufficient to enable officers to vote by post.
