The Senate has passed the Electoral Act Amendment Bill and approved the electronic transmission of results.

The approval was given Tuesday when senators resumed plenary after a three-week recess.

A seven-man conference committee was constituted by the Upper chamber to meet with members of the House of Representatives Conference Committee and harmonize the differences in the Senate and House versions of the Electoral Act Amendment Bill.

A successful harmonization would mean the National Assembly has finished the process of amending the Electoral Act Amendment Bill.

The House of Representatives is also expected to follow suit by passing the harmonized bill.
