Commonwealth Numbered Regulations Commonwealth Numbered Regulations(1) This regulation applies if it becomes apparent that 1 or more eligible voters for a poll will be unable to send their ballot‑papers to the returning officer, so that they are received by the return day for the poll because of circumstances that:
(a) were not foreseen when the return day was determined under paragraph 7 (1) (b); and
(b) are outside the control of the voter or voters.
(2) The industry services body may determine another day to be the return day for the poll to allow a reasonable amount of time for all eligible voters to send their ballot‑papers to the returning officer, so that they are received by the return day.
(3) If the industry services body makes a determination under subregulation (2) for a poll, the industry services body must:
(a) send to every eligible voter that has not, by the day the determination is made, already returned its ballot‑paper written notice about the new return day for the poll; or
(b) publish at least 1 notice, stating the new return day for the poll:
(i) in at least 1 national newspaper that is circulated in all States and Territories; and
(ii) in any other publications circulated in rural areas that are of significant interest to producers of dairy produce.
