Queensland Consolidated Acts Queensland Consolidated Acts(1) A person is entitled to be enrolled for an electoral district if the person--
(a) either--
(i) is entitled to be enrolled under the Commonwealth Electoral Act for the purposes of that Act in its application in relation to an election within the meaning of that Act; or
(ii) is not so entitled, but was entitled to be enrolled under the Elections Act 1983 on 31 December 1991; and
(b) lives in the electoral district and has lived in it for the last month.
(2) However, subsection (1)(b) does not deny a person the entitlement to be enrolled for an electoral district if the person did not live in the electoral district for the last month merely because the person was imprisoned.
(3) In addition, if a member of the Legislative Assembly gives notice to the commission, in the form and way approved by the commission, that the member wishes to be enrolled for the electoral district that the member represents, the member is entitled to be enrolled for that electoral district instead of the one applicable under subsection (1).
(4) Also, a member of the Legislative Assembly may be enrolled for an electoral district (the other district) other than the district that the member represents (the member's district) if, because of an electoral redistribution, the other district contains at least half of the electors who were enrolled for the member's district when the commission calculated the average number of enrolled electors for electoral districts for section 45(1).
