Provisions as to the filling of casual vacancies in the provisional Parliament and provisional Legislatures of the States
omittedWhat does this mean?
This former casual-vacancy rule for provisional legislatures was omitted. Present vacancies require the applicable operative constitutional and election-law provisions.
Temporary, transitional and State-specific arrangements, including legal continuity at commencement.
Why is this provision here?
This historical entry preserves the record of a constitutional provision later removed. Its former subject must be distinguished from any current rule elsewhere in the Constitution or legislation.
This Article number belongs to the original constitutional framework, but its present wording may include later amendments or substitutions. A provision-specific original Assembly debate has not been verified here. The explanation of function above is editorial inference from the text, not an attributed single motive of the framers. The original draft-making archive is a research resource, not proof of a particular historical reason.
The explanation of purpose is an editorial reading of the provision. A drafting motive is attributed only where a linked historical source supports it.
Limits, exceptions & reading carefully
Omitted historical provision. This entry is not an operative standalone authority.
