The public hearing gives the public an opportunity to express their views on
the Electoral Amendment Bill.   Stakeholders, political parties, interested
groups, organisations and all members of the public are welcome to attend
the hearing, at which they will be given the opportunity to make
representations.  These will be considered by the portfolio committee in
compiling a report to be tabled in the National Assembly.  The Bill may come
up in the National Assembly as early as Tuesday 13th May, so there is no
time to be lost.
If you want to make oral representations at the hearing, signify this to the
committee clerk before the hearing, if possible, so that she can notify the
chairperson to call on you.  An oral representation is more effective if
followed up in writing.  If you are providing a written copy, it is
advisable to take as many copies as possible with you for circulation at the
hearing.
