What does it do?
- This ordinance amends the Voter Roll Act, 2073. It was issued under Article 114(1) of the Constitution because Parliament was not in session, and took effect immediately.यो अध्यादेशले मतदाता नामावली ऐन, २०७३ संशोधन गर्छ। संसद्को अधिवेशन नभएकाले संविधानको धारा ११४(१) बमोजिम जारी भई यो तुरुन्त लागू भएको हो। Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs (moljpa.gov.np) — prevailing ordinances list Preamble and Section 1, PDF p. 1
- It adds section 4(2A): notwithstanding section 4(2), if the House of Representatives is dissolved before completing its term and an election date has been announced, the Election Commission may set a period to collect, register and update the voter roll for that election.यसले दफा ४(२क) थप्छ: दफा ४(२) मा जुनसुकै कुरा लेखिएको भए पनि प्रतिनिधि सभाको कार्यकाल पूरा हुनुअगावै प्रतिनिधि सभा विघटन भई निर्वाचनको मिति घोषणा भएमा त्यस्तो निर्वाचनका लागि निर्वाचन आयोगले अवधि तोकी मतदाता नामावली सङ्कलन, दर्ता तथा अद्यावधिक गर्ने व्यवस्था गर्न सक्छ। Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs (moljpa.gov.np) — prevailing ordinances list Section 2 (new s. 4(2A)), PDF p. 2
- Under Article 114 of the Constitution, an ordinance has the same force as an Act, but it must be tabled at the next session of both Houses; it ceases to have effect if both Houses do not adopt it, if the President repeals it, or sixty days after both Houses meet. The House of Representatives' ordinance-status list records it as approved at the House meeting of 2082-12-23, and the National Assembly's list records 'स्वीकार' (accepted).संविधानको धारा ११४ अनुसार अध्यादेश ऐनसरह मान्य हुन्छ, तर यसलाई संसद्का दुवै सदनको पछिल्लो अधिवेशनमा पेश गर्नुपर्छ; दुवै सदनले स्वीकार नगरेमा, राष्ट्रपतिले खारेज गरेमा वा दुवै सदनको बैठक बसेको साठी दिनपछि यो स्वतः निष्क्रिय हुन्छ। प्रतिनिधि सभाको अध्यादेश-अवस्था सूचीमा यो २०८२-१२-२३ को बैठकबाट स्वीकृत भएको र राष्ट्रिय सभाको सूचीमा 'स्वीकार' भनी उल्लेख छ। Nepal Law Commission · Federal Parliament of Nepal Article 114(1)–(2), PDF p. 62; HoR and NA ordinance-status entries
